My wife has a '99 3.2TL. It has around 60,000 miles.

Lately, it has been driving as if something is "holding it back." It is also making a low pitch "hum" that gets louder as I drive faster. At first, I thought it was the tires, but it is not. The sound stays the same regardless of surface area.

Anyone experience something like this? I am wondering if it is a CV joint. The transmission is not slipping or anything like that. It has the 4-speed auto and it moves through all gears fine.

Your help is appreciated.

It sounds like a wheel bearing problem to me.

this is quite hard to diagnos in a forum :p
you would have the problem solved much faster if you pay your dealer a visit
good luck

I noticed a low pitched hum after an oil change. I went back and the mechanic hadn't closed the air filter box properly. We opened it back up, made sure everything was in place and sealed up and the noise went away.
