98 v70 AWD front wheel whining

Post by Jackskeeper »

I have a noise coming from passenger front it sounds like a whirling/whining noise, I thought it was my wheel bearing and hub assembly so I replaced it. The problem still exists... could a CV axle be the cause? I've had one go out on me before and it sounded a lot different (clunkinf and clicking)

Any and all help is appreciated

CVs usually clunk or wobble on acceleration. Hubs usually make a low drone like a prop plane or sort of a whap-whap noise.

Definitely road speed related, or could it be engine speed related? Transmission itself is on the drivers side...so something in the belt path?
