Post subject: Troubleshooting noise in the 03 WRX |
 |
|
I am hearing a humming drone noise only above 180kmh (goes away below this speed)
Other Symptoms:
A knock at the front right shock going over humps, bad roads etc. but it goes away after running the car for a while like say one north south down the highway.
My clutch is going. (grabby in 2nd and a chirpy single squeek occurs when engaging)
My tyres are not new
Any views or suggestions as to why the noise is occuring? |

Might be the cause of your humming noise. |

where is the sound coming from?
the gearbox?
the wheels?
the back of the car?
the front? |

It is really difficult to pinpoint at that speed since the frequency of the sound is very low. (hence a hum)
The tyres are a possibilty but concerned if it something more serious...(need to explore all other possibilities in the leiu of a high speed mishap)
Where are all the Scooby tech buffs who feel they got this one? |

I hope the diffs good...but if one was bad it would hum below 180 kmh too nuh?
I want to believe that its not mechanical (diffs or bearings) since its occuring only at critical velovity... But who knows...?
Any more suggestments from the experts?[/quote] |
