Hello all,
I hear a pulsating humming while driving on the highway over 55mph. The faster I go the louder and closer together the "pulses" get and under 50mph it's hard to hear them at all. I have no idea what it could be, at first I thought it might be engine related, however I suspect not because even if I'm at 70 mph coasting down through 55 with 0% throttle I still hear it, however it quieter than at constant speed. Could it be U-joints or tires out of balance?
Also, when turning past 1 full rotation of the steering wheel at low speeds I hear a loud "clunk" from the front end. It isn't the upper intermediate steering shaft-I replaced that and I know what that sounds like. It isn't the green plastic bearing on the steering column either- I replaced that a few months ago and I know what it sounds like too. Basically everything on the front end is relatively new (30k), meaning upper control arms, UCA bushings, tie rod ends, pitman/idler arm, shocks, wheel hubs, upper ball joints, lower ball joints. Except for the lower control arm bushings- could that cause such a loud clunk? I can sometimes feel it in the steering wheel. Sometimes I can't feel it at all. It seems to be worse when I am driving/turning in reverse.
Thanks all,
