So i have an 07 2.4 with 40,xxx miles on it. It recently started making a noise that seems to be coming from one of the front wheels. I cant really tell which. Sounds more like the passenger side. Sometimes the noise is louder than other times. It sounds almost like a helicopter sometimes. The noise is there when driving straight, seems to be worse when turning to the right, and is almost non existent when turning to the left. Also, it seems that some days the noise is louder than others. Just curious if anybody can give me some help or an idea on what the problem is. I donno if there's anything i left out. If you all need more info just let me know. Thanks in advance.

 

To me it sounds like it could be your right front wheel bearing. Usually when they go bad and you are turning in the opposite direction of where the noise is you are taking pressure off that side the noise goes away.

 

Thanks for the reply. how can i check that to see if it is in fact the problem? And is it hard to fix? i know basics but that sounds like i may havta take it to a mechanic.

 

Im not sure i dont think it be too hard
