Rushing into what has happened this past week I was driving along and Hit a HUGE pothole that bent 3 rims soo i replace 3 vossen vvs 085 rims 3 tires and added Eibach springs. The Problem is inside the driver side when driving over 30 miles per hour I hear this roaring with minor vibration in the cabin... From where I got my rims tires and alignment done they tell me everything is ok and cannot understand where the noise is coming from. Wheel bearings are perfect tires are new... the sound only comes from the front left wheel..

also when i turn right while maintaining speed i hear the sound more so then turning left...

Does anyone have any Idea what could be the problem???

I hope this isnt a major issue.. it has already cost me 2000$.

Thanks

 

What tires?

 

Toyo's forget the dimensions however keep in mind the noise is only from the front left an when i tried to avoid this massive pothole I skid straight into that front left wheel.

 

does it drives differently?

 

No Weiboy the G drives the same... Great Alignments good and everything... The only problem is the Mad annoying groaning noise from the front right tire area... The vibration from it to is alarming, THe Vibration is felt only in the front seats passengers in the back seat cannot feel the vibration. The sound gets louder and more rapid as speeds increase from 40 - 80 mph.. Turning left the sound disappears... Turning Right the sound is even more extreme...

Thanks.

 

damn, sorry! i'm not too much of a help. it can mean alot of components when you get vibrations. such as suspension,tires,wheels,balance problem and alignment.

do you still have your stockers? put em back on to see if the problem exist. if you don't hear it no more then you found your culprit. good luck!

 

If your your tires are directional or asymetrical, check that they are mounted correctly.

 

Well Tomorrow we will find out I will bring it in somewhere... I hope my tires are mounted correctly, I payed to get them done.. Aligned.. and balanced... lets hope its a quick easy fix Anyway thanks for your help Weiboy and Black betty btw Black Betty gimme your number I want to order a kit from you (grounding kit).

 

Any update on what the problem was moofer? I think I'm having the same issue...

 

From what you descirbe it sounds like a warped rotor, but i don't see how that could happen from a pothole. You can check it by just taking it off and taking it to a auto parts store.

 

I got my front wheels balanced and took my car to the dealership and they changed the brakes and shaved the rotors....no difference.

I'm going to swap out my rims back to stocks and see if they are the same...just gotta wait til I go to my parents house b/c they are there.

 

do you have spacers at all?

 

Naw....and it's a thud, thud, thud noise that comes on rotation. Only the driver front. Don't see any rubbing issues (dropped on ProKits)

 

where is the 1 old tire at? Could also be a bald spot on the old tire your'e hearing. Also check to see if any bolts are loose. (lugnuts, brake caliper, suspension pieces) Also check to see if the bushings are blown out or cracked.

 

Hmm.....i literally just picked it up from the dealer after they replaced the "baffles" and shaved the rotors....same exact noise.

No old tire...8K mile Continental Pirelli tires on w/still good tread left. Never left the car sitting for extended period of time
