please help wheel bearing gone? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #48470 7 posts Started by Newb
hey, there is a weird sound comming from the gf's 94 canadian gts, it is a revolutional sound, and its comming from the left rear wheel. If I grab onto the wheel and spin it back and fourth occasionally it will seem to lock up and stop but it seems like only when i spin it back forward. Now it seems to be making a thumping sound which gets faster as you drive faster. Is it possible the ebrake is sticking randomly? or does it sound more like a wheel bearing? it only does it from the drivers rear.
Check the brakes. Does it make the noise going forward and backwards?

took it apart today its just the ebrake pads sticking because there isnt much left of them and I just tightened the ebrake, I cleaned them up, I'll put pads on it later. Everyone else I talked to has never heard a wheel bearing thump either, So thumbs up to me for figuring it out I guess lol.

Have to admit, I've never hear of a "thumping" wheel bearing either. I was referring more to the weird "revolutional sound" you described in your original post.
