Got this weird rustling noise from the rear right. Ive had a hub go out and it sounds completely different. I jacked up the car and checked the wheel, and there was no play. Its a pretty quiet rustling. dont hear it above 50 mph. I can hear it when im speeding up or slowing down. sounds like a fast rustling, but im pretty sure it kind of sounds like it slows down the slower i go. If im rolling up to 10 mph i dont hear it sometimes. Any guesses? Also i dont know if its comin from the wheel area or if its something from hardtop.

 

Check your driveline and differential, maybe? Only thing I could think of without hearing the noise myself.

 

Sounds like it might be a wheel bearing from the description. I assume you've done the wheel nut tightening, if not it would be a good time to check that as well.

Nailed it. My money is on wheel bearings. especially on the rears they heat up as the rotors provide no cooling help, so the hub and bearings take the beating.

 

Bearing or CV joint.

 

sounds different from the last time the bearing went out, but i'll try it anyways. I'll let u know what happens

 

welp i retightened the nut, still the grinding noise, maybe even louder now....looks like the hub is shot

 

My bet is on the wheel bearing in conjunction with scoring on the hub. You are probably going to have to replace both. If your hub has scoring and you put a new bearing on it, you will be replacing it again shortly after...I learned the hard way.

 

i replaced the bearing about 6-8months ago...so i learned just as u did i guess....how much did it cost you, and where did u take it?

 

Im about toreplace mine and I was just going to take the hub to purvis bearing and have them press on a new one for me.
