If you have the wheels in the air, turning side to side wont do anything... the noise changing would be with both wheels on the ground driving the car...Elli wrote:It does, in fact, change noise levels when I turn left or right... but I know that there's only one driving wheel... so I didn't know if that made an impact.
Someone on probetalk suggested I drain the tranny fluid into a clean catch pan and check for shavings. I might do that tomorrow.
EDIT:
If it helps anyone decipher the issue. The noise only comes on around 30 mph then gets progressively louder as speed increases... but I can run thru first gear as high as I want and the sound doesn't increase in volume.
It really sounds like you've done damage to your transmission and possibly have a wheel bearing noise...
As a mechanic though I can tell you that chasing noises when you have the car in your hands can be difficult enough... there is no way anyone here can give you better advice then what I have all ready stated about how the noises change and what its related to...
Draining your transmission fluid out and looking at it wont tell you if thats where your noise it coming from...
