strange noise
« on: January 16, 2010, 03:58:13 pm »
I was driving my 94 1.9 aaz diesel the other day and as I was entering the highway from a yield doing 80 KM/Hr my wheel bearing decided to let go, it popped right out of its housing, and my wheel (passenger side) went all the way out and jammed into the fender. I got it towed home and I had to replace the ball joint and I also had to replace the driveshaft because the ball joint let go and the wheel turned so far out it pulled the inner cv joint apart, the shoulder was still bolted to the tranny flange but the rest of the drive shaft was pulled out. So i got everything put back together and noticed now that my steering wheel sits slightly crooked but the car still drives relativly straight. I am guessing I will need an alignment for that. The problem I have now is that when I am driving I get a slight moaning sound coming from the engine /drivetran area. It only happens when I hit 2000 RPM and it dosen't matter which gear I am in. Would this be a wheel bearing or could this have damaged something in the tranny?? Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks

I would think the tranny's fine, the driveshaft will pull out of the CV joint pretty easily so I really doubt it yanked on anything inside the tranny, unless your driveshaft is held in by a real clip instead of the push together/pull apart type.

The fact that the noise comes and goes with RPM suggests that it is engine/tranny related though, in which case I'm at a loss.

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

dosen't happen in neutral. It almost sounds like the moaning sound a wheel bearing makes when it is in the begining stages of diying. I don't think it would be a motor mount since I just put new ones in. It is just wierd that it only happens when it is around the 2K RPM and then nothing for anytime else. I am just hoping that my tranny didn't get damaged since I just had it rebuilt. I am going to drive it for a bit and see if it gets worse or not.
