Hey folks. I figued id ask this before i decide if i should take the car to the shop.<p>When driving, there is a moderate amount of vibration and noise coming from the rear of the car when im between 50 and 60 kph. At first i thought that it was a flat tire, same type of vibration and noise (just not that loud) but it seems that its only there at a specific speed. Also seems to be on the right side of the rear. Anything i should tell the mechanic to look for if i go to the shop?

Wheel bearing is a good guess, if it's not that, then you might have something wrong with your tire. I had a very similar problem, although mine was mostly audible at low speeds. Turns out there was a big knot on the back tire, so everytime it went around it make a sound. Does your sound slow down and speed up with the car? If it does, then it's gotta be one of those two things.

I kinda agree with it being the wheel bearing, but the only reason i would say no is because the wheel bearing is more of a constant thing, not really just at a certain speed, and its more of a really loud grinding noise. have them check your rotors or it could be something as easy as just the break pad, sometimes it can make ****ed up noises. Hope you figure it out and it cheap
