guys, my 86es has developed a strange sound from the front end. sounds like the right side. you can also kind of feel it through the steering wheel. it's a low pitched droning sound like tire to road sound and the feeling is like someone layed a tuning fork to the car, not a shake or vibration. thing is, when turning to the right the slightest bit it goes away. to the left, maybe a little stronger. also changes when hitting dips in the road. the wheel does not feel hot after a long drive. i'm not very familiar with suspension or steering work so a little advise would be appreciated.

Sounds like a bad front bearing to me. When you turn left, you're transferring the weight to the the right side, hence why the sound gets louder.
Fairly easy job. This is a good DIY: http://ilovemye30.blogspot.ca/2013/0...placement.htmlEstoguy

Did you remove the inner race of the new bearing and install the new hub with the old inner ?Seat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch. Email John or Garrett at ninestitch1@gmail.com

I cut them part way through with a die grinder, or dremel. Place the chisel in the groove you cut, and smack it with a hammer. It will split in two and fall offOriginally posted by codyep3I hope to Christ you have looks going for you, because you sure as fuck don't have any intelligence.
