Why is my wheel bearing making a rumbling noise?
If the rumbling noise is from the rear then the same can be said as with the front if it is wheel bearing, however, as more loading tends to go through the rear differential than the front diff then pinion shaft bearings can too cause noises, this is a common problem.
What causes a whirring noise in a Mercedes?
The noise is most noticeable when coasting or decelerating. The noise intensifies at higher speeds. Other symptoms of bad Mercedes front differential include. Whirring noise only while decelerating often caused by a bad pinion bearing Rumbling or humming noise at low speeds often caused by worn carrier bearings
Why does my front differential make a noise?
A few times we have seen cases where a mechanic diagnoses the noise as a bad front wheel bearing. While the noise coming from bad front differential bearing sounds similar to that of a bad dif. wheel bearing, a differential bearing noise comes from the center of the vehicle.
Why does my roughtrax 4×4 make a clunking noise?
For example: If you turn to the left and the noise increases, then this would typically indicate a faulty bearing on the right side due to the extra loading being placed on the worn bearing. If a severe clunking is heard from the front then look more-so towards the CV joints or indeed the prop-shaft UJ’s.

What makes a humming noise after wheel bearing replacement?
So I’ve had some bad luck with the driver side wheel bearing; and since I have very limited tools and space I generally have my FIL who is a very good mechanic work on my car. Anyhoo, the first wheel bearing went out, replaced and within six months I can hear the humming noise that started get louder with increased speed.

How can I tell if my front wheel bearing is bad?
In order to test for a bad wheel bearing: safely jack up the front wheel that you suspect may have a bad wheel bearing. rotate the wheels and listen for humming / grinding sound. also move the wheel by grabbing the tire and pulling it back and forth to test if there is play. The tire shouldn’t rock.
