Chasing some noise in my front end before it goes back to the shop for repairs.
We were in an accident and the front axle was replaced with a reman unit. Problem with a reman this route is they send the axle and the shop has to build it up and reinstall. At first all was fine no noises at all.
At the moment it’s giving me a whir whir whir whir noise. Tires are pretty dead so my first thought was that I simply needed a tire rotation. Took care of that today but I still have the noise. In further chasing it seems to be primarily front right and shows up loudest around 55 MPH. I tested in 2WD and 4WD and it seems to go away with 4WD.
I have done the side to side steering to check wheel bearings as well but that seems fine when introducing a side load. Thanks
Any ideas on what it might be for me to help tell the shop what the potential problem is?
The axle is warrantied for 3 years so that is good, just trying to get back to a noise free driving experience at this point.
