Whoa Where did that come from(sound)

Post by Ant_nee03 »

Lately when I drive my Mx-3 And I am going around 50 or so mph the steering wheel shakes. It starts off small then it grows as the Mph increases. Then tonight (feb 11, 2004)When I get up to 50 there is a strange sound that really disturbed me. Sounded like something rubbing from the front passanger side. It didnt effect my driving at all that I could notice but I tend to worry about things a lot so any help would be appreciated.
What else is gonna go wrong?

alignment or tire(s) out of balance.
Fast imports only come on two wheels.

Could be wheel bearing or your wheel hub as well.

yeah I second the wheel bearing. Annoying, sounds like something caught between your tire and well. Or an airplane...
