Hi, i'm hearing and feeling a throbbing/rubbing sound coming from my front wheel when i'm doing 60 klicks or higher and going through a turn like on a highway. i've got the front wheel off now, pretty sure its from the driver side. nothing looks a miss. before taking the wheel off i checked the bearing and there was no movement at all. the brakes were services last year, new rotors and pads and haven't had any trouble. there is no vibration in the wheel when braking or otherwise. would appreciate any advice.

 

My guess (and experience) is the bearing.

 

+1 on the bearing bigcat. Turning is putting a lateral load and more than likely the bearing is dry and screaming.

 

I would agree.

May not be bad (yet) but the grease is long gone. Mine is doing that too... I do not believe there is any way to lubricate either(?).. Best bet is replace(?)

I am going to replace all wheel bearings myself.

 

I have a similar problem. Sounds like the NSF wheel, throbbing/rubbing noise but only when turning the steering wheel to the right. Definitely road speed related and getting louder. Changed the steering pump fluid but made no difference. So, is it a bearing?

 

Welcome to the forum. Jack the wheel up and check the play in the vertical plane.
