2000 Cavalier, 88,000 miles. Get a very loud humming noise from the front end while driving. This occurs whether in gear or just coasting out of gear. I believe I've eliminated the tranny with this. I do not notice clicking noises (my daughters car), does this eliminate the CV joints? What else would it be?

Raise car, put on stands. Grasp tire and pull/push both horizontally and vertically looking for any movement. If movement then could be a bearing/hub.
Check the CV boots for rips, tears and leaking grease.

Finally, move front tires to rear (do not cross, just left front to left rear), if noise moves with tire, then the tire is the problem.
