front wheel noise

Can't really hear it from here. Maybe if you held your computer closer to the car.

With no other clues or observations to go on, the most likely cause is a noisy wheel bearing. Your mechanic can tell you for sure after a short test drive.

Most likely a bad wheel bearing... while driving straight ahead, move the steering wheel left & right in a gentle slalom motion. If the noise comes & goes, that indicates that it is a bad wheel bearing in the front.

Hi,

The most common cause for a roaring sound from a wheel is a faulty wheel bearing. The easiest thing to do is this. While driving, see if the sound changes pitch or volume when making a turn.

Next, if you make a left turn and it gets louder, suspect the right bearing is the problem and vice versa.

What happens is this. When you turn, it redistributes the vehicle's weight. When turning left, the right wheel bearing carries a heavier load causing the sound to change.

If you find this is the problem, here is a link to get you started. It explains in general how one is replaced.

On this particular vehicle, the bearing will need to be pressed out and in the steering knuckle. It can be done while it is still on the vehicle. However, it requires special tooling. If you don't have access, then remove the steering knuckle and use a hydraulic press to perform the procedure.

If you look at the pics below, I attached the directions specific to this vehicle for replacement.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
