My CL is making a noise from the front drivers side. It sounds like wumpa wumpa wumpa and intensity increases with spead. I can also feel it in the sterring wheel. It doues not go away when I apply the brakes. Occasionally when I put on the brakes the front end shakes. I'm thinking wheel bearings?

Has anyone replaced their wheel bearings? If so is it difficult or should I take it to the dealer?

 

wumpa wumpa wumpa?

 

You mean CHUMBAWAMBA.. my car gets this knocking sound, and it knocks again.........

 

ROFL wumpa wumpa wumpa

 

WUMPA WUMPA WUMP....PUMBA PUMBA PUMBA......BOOMBA BOMMBA BOOMBA!??!?!?

 

i would suggest going to a dealer, you need to press the bearings into the hub assembly on the cl's and they need to be properly grease packed, i suggest doing a dealer, expect about 200 bucks labor, it pays them 2 hours for a wheel bearing job...but befor eyou do this, check the dust boot, i thought i needed new bearings and there was a rock in the dust boot making a thump thump thump sound when driving...Ben

 

i think u got an air bubble on ur tire. or ur rim could be slightly bent on the inside.

 

wheel is off balance

 

wumpa wumpa wumpa

 

 

Holy crap you guys were right! It was a Umpaloopa making that noise all along!



I think he screwed up my wheel bearing while he was in there!

 

 

ahaah nice.

 

thats more laughing smileys then you can shake a stick at... funny photoshop btw...

 

lol, sounds like an alignment issue. My old car did the exact same thing and had a bent lower strut bar.

 

before you do anything just make sure your lugnuts are all tightened...it could be the problem right there
