    Where is this noise coming from?

    This is on my e30. So ill be driving for about 10 minutes or longer and il start to hear a humming noise. Kinda sounds like its coming from the front but i can't tell as of yet. but It will sorta just start and then when i swerve left it you can hear it more and then when i swerve right its gone. But... When i swerve left you'll hear it but if i tap the brakes the noise will just go away... Only thing i can think of is a bad wheel bearing because it happens after driving for awhile. Also if i let the car sit for an extended period the noise will be gone.

    What could this be? Anyone else have the same problem?

    Power steering is dying? Try some snake oil additive . You are running ATF in there?

      That sounds like a bad wheel bearing or the right side
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
