1999 Pontiac Grand Am Whirring Grinding Noise

i have simular problem with my grand am where u acelerate faster the noise gets louder i think it might ne a wheel bearing but not for sure.

When you turn left or right while driving does the noise get louder or quieter?

i think louder when i turn left but not exactly sure sounds like its from the front.

If it gets louder when turning left and sounds like its coming from the front then you most likely have a bad right front wheel bearing.Do you have a jack and jack stands?If you do then i can tell you how to see if the wheel bearing is bad and which one.

yea i do how can you tell?

Set the ebrake block the rear wheels jack up both front wheels so there off the ground and put the jack stands under the front front of the car.Then put the car in neautral go to each front wheel put one hand on the strut coil spring then while your doing that use your other hand to spin the wheel as fast as you can.If the wheel bearing is bad you should be able to feel the bad bearing in the coil spring.Compare both sides to each other.Let me know what you find.

i checked it out and it was a bad right wheel bearing thanks for your help now i gotta see how much itll be to fix lol

Cool i was right if your good with fixing cars and have tools you could always change it yourself.
