I'd still do some checking. Lift only the right front, car in gear, e-brake on hard, and see how far you can rotate the wheel. Reach around (no, not that kind of reach-around ... jeesh) and see whether the axle always stays with the wheel or if they're some play at the outer CV joint.

I haven't done any extra verifications but I did notice certain things over time... 1. The noise seems to get louder as I drive. Meaning, if I go drive to work in the morning, at first it does not make much noise but it does get noticeable after a while (5-10min). 2- It gets louder if I go over a bump, or up the driveway. 3- It is also more noticeable when I back up and even more if I turn the wheels

I am getting so many confusing problems this year, it's not even funny lol

thanks for your help

Stock wheels?

I would loosen all your lug nuts, take the wheel off, then put it back on and make sure it's seated correctly, then torque to factory specs.

So looking at your numerous previous threads, you are having the same problem. Did you ever listen to the dealership's tech and get different wheels, since he said that the tuner style lugs caused damage to the stock lug bore?

if you hear it more when slowing down, I would guess most likely tire noise. how do the edges of your tires feel? jagged or smooth?

nvm just saw you said its happening when going over bumps..so idk.

In all fairness, I was having noise when braking. We found out that it was the rotors causing the ticking sounds when braking... I bought new rotors but didn't install just yet.

This is another issue that arose recently.

I thought it was the tires because they do have uneven wear, but that doesn't explain the wobbling sound when reversing, or going slowly over bumps.

It may very well be the tires. I had the same issue with 5000 miles on my 265/35/18 ku36. At 20 mph it's was a loud whooping/vibrating/oscillating sound. I thought for sure it was the bearings. Dealer said its tires I thought to myself surrre... Went to 2 tire shops - one said tires, another said bearings. I found a member on here with the same issue and the same tires so I bit the bullet bought some new tires and now I'm quieter than ever. the 1st tire shop said the tires were 'chopped'.
Kumho warranty will be covering this since it happened in the first 2/32nd of tire wear. Yay.

Good luck.
