Well, i get an odd buzzing noise (like im driving on those bumpy shoulder strips to wake people up when they are drifting). It increases as my speed increases. In other words, its more pronouced as i get to hwy speeds, but less noticeable because im going faster?

An important clue is that it gets really noticeable when im changing lanes to the left. The noise does not increase when im changing lanes to the right. I've looked around and i havent noticed anything rubbing. The noise happend suddenly, as nothing as changed on my car.


Anybody help with the wierd tire/suspension noise?

Thanks in advance.

 

I have the same problem, turns out my tires are cupped from a crappy alignment. Look at your tires and see if they looked "feathered".

 

Whats "feathered" look like?

 

Is this type of wear normal alignment on an evo?


BTW: These are Kumho ASX's on stock suspension/rims. My winter setup.

Your wheel bearing might be bad. If it gets louder when you turn left it is the right wheel bearing. This is because more of the weight of the car is disributed to the right side of the car, making it that much more difficult to turn (bearing). Try to take a sharp long right turn at high speeds. If the sound gets quieter then it pretty much is going to be the problem. I had this issue on an Audi as well as an Integra. Good luck.

 

Kind of hard to tell from the pictures, but it certainly does appear that the outside of the passenger side tires has been worn down considerably more than the driver's side...again, it is hard to tell from the pics.

 

had somewhat the same type problem, one of the tires had bubbled badly cuz of a crap alignment like Spish said

 

You can only see a tire with a feathered condition if it's REALLY bad. By the time you see it, you'll feel or hear it first. To find out if a tire is feathered (typically inner or outter edges) run your hand up and down the edges. It'll feel smooth on way and have sharp edges the other way. Think of it like petting a dog, but go both directions. If you go against grain it won't feel smooth. You'll know what I mean
