Smile Noise for front drivers side wheel well

Well I'm getting a "warbling" noise from the front wheel well. It only happens when I'm moving and the wheels are turned slightly to the left. Slow or Fast. I Check the brakes, grease the ball joints...


It's sort of like a "whomp whomp whomp" Sound


Any ideas??


I sincerely apologize if this post is vague! I have no other idea as to how to explain this problem. Plus I'm only a rookie with self-maintenance so be easy on me.

check the cv joint. Could also be warped hubs, rotors or bearings.

Two things come to mind - worn out wheel hub bearing or bad CV joint. Does the noise get worse or changes when you take a left turn at or is it mostly when you drive straight?

Then it is likely to be a bad CV joint. What I don't know if noise while turning left means it is the left CV or the right one. Anyone out there knows better?

if that's it I would assume its the drivers side... there is no noise coming from the passenger side... I'm going to check it out this week, I'll let you know. Thanks

It will probably be best to swap the entire driver side axle. While you taking it out you will be able to see the back of the wheel hub and examine the bearing to see if that needs replacement.
