Axle or wheel bearing? Or something else
I have 2009 cobalt ss and have a weird whining noise with a clicking coming from my front end passenger side. The noise only occurs when there is no load on the car. When I get on the gas the noise disappears. When I turn there is no noise. It's only when I'm going straight. There's no play in the wheel bearing. And I don't see any signs of axle damage. Any help?

That's an old mechanics trick.... "Check for play in the wheel bearing... if there isn't any its something else". Not always the case.
My daily driver Cavalier's wheel bearings roared like no other, but had no play or signs of wear on the exterior. They were shot though. Change yours.
OP, a clicking noise is usually an axle issue.

[QUOTE=Staged07SS;7602417]Just because there is no play in the wheel bearings doesn't mean its not shot.

I feared that was my problem. I guess their logic is "it won't fall apart yet so it's fine" but I should get it replaced. I do still have to replace my dead IC pump though..
