Car is an '88 325i sedan with 77K. I've got a low-pitched vibration/howling that starts at about 30-40 mph. I can feel it strongly in the steering wheel. I jacked up all 4 corners and gave the tires a hard shake. The rears are solid as can be. While the rear was jacked up, I also ran the rear wheels up to 80MPH or so in 5th gear and did not hear or feel any vibration at all.
The front wheels seems to have very, very slight looseness when I shake it top-to-bottom. Could be worn suspension - I'm not sure what a blown wheel bearing feels like. Is there any other way to see if one of the front wheel bearings is the problem? Could someone link to the best DIY thread for replacing those? Any other things to look at?
Thanks!
