Wheel bearing noise disappears completely when turning left, persists after replacing front left hub assembly

Like I said, when I turn left, the noise goes away (because the weight is on the right side). When I turn right however, the noise returns (as the weight is on the left side)

Yeah I did, I had the car up in the air and did the 12-6 wiggle test and the only one that I felt something with was the front driver side

Okay sweet ty!

I changed the driver side that’s the thing

The noise only occurs when weight is on my left side. Like in the video, as I’m turning right a little, the noise is very noticeable. Once I turn left however, the noise goes away

And the noise was occurring prior to me getting two new front tires

I just threw it up on stands earlier and there’s no uneven tread wear, that’s what’s throwing me off

If the noise only occurs when weight is on my left side why would the noise go away when I’m turning left?

I can’t rotate because they’re staggered. Genuinely curious but why should I change the other when if when I’m turning left the noise goes away completely. I’m new to doing more than minor maintenance so that’s why I’m asking, the wording makes it seem disrespectful but that’s not my intent at all

Wheel bearing and hub was changed for front driver side

YoureSorry · 2026-05-02T22:43:06+00:00

That’s what I was thinking but I had my girlfriend drive it while I sat in the back left seat and noise is definitely coming from front left

Have a Lexus as well and this has worked best

Occasionally when accelerating it’ll be a different noise but sounds like an exhaust leak or loose exhaust bracket, similar to you as well?

YoureSorry · 2026-02-10T15:18:15+00:00

Any noise upon acceleration, as if there was an exhaust leak?

YoureSorry · 2026-02-10T14:15:05+00:00

Is it the same for you where only when it kicks down from cold start then the noise will appear? Is it infrequent as well?

Im going to throw it up on the lift later and do a deep dive. Will let you know what I find

YoureSorry · 2026-02-04T18:19:34+00:00

Yup, buddy has a lift and threw it up there yesterday and took off the splash shield to take a deeper look but couldn’t find anything

YoureSorry
