I get this "wob wob wob wob" noise right around 35 - 40 mph most noticeable on smooth surfac and it seems to be coming from the right front. I thought wheels weren't balanced or at least one is bent. Car drives straight and steering wheel does not shake at all. (just had the wheel balanced - same results) I checked each wheel by jacking it up to check for play but there is none. Could it the the kind/type of tires that they are? I don't hear them at higher speeds. Tires are Kuhmo Supra 712. If it's a driveline issue, wouldn't the sound be there all the time?

TIA

surprising how this noise started after swapping wheels.

I've gotten little groan-y sounds that sound a lot like a deteriorating bearing, but aren't. And it has happened on several S-cars, and always after changin rims. Usually goes away after the rim seats in.

ROTFL! Excellent description!

You'll need to jack the tires up again and rotate them to look for a bent rim or uneven wear. Check all 4 because the sound is hard to locate while driving and could be any of them.

I just picked up a similar noise as a result of hitting a pot hole (O how I love MI roads!) I suspect a bent rim, but I haven't had time to check.

how much of a pain is it to change a wheel bearing i think my rear passenge one is shot...

I am going to swap my old set and see if the noise goes away. I always thought a bent rim would cause a little steering wheel shake.

not bad if you have a bearing press
