Bad wheel bearing symptoms?

[2Fast4Radar]

My front driver's wheel is making a clunk that gets faster as I'm traveling at a higher rate of speed..... I'm thinking it's a bad wheel bearing? Car has new brakes, new Tein coilovers--so I'd like to rule these out.

Hard to explain noises sometimes, but to me, a 'clunk' is not a bearing noise. Maybe a CV joint, but I'm guessing you are talking about your RWD car?

If it is a bearing noise, try taking some turns at a high rate of speed; if the noise gets louder then it is probably a bearing. Outside wheel is most heavily loaded an d typically the noise from that side will get louder. Though sometimes a bad bearing will quiet up under load.

It's just a noise.... not metal on metal, and the fact that the noise speeds up as I'm accelerating just makes me think it's for sure the bearing. It's only the driver's front... and it came out of nowhere--you would think most other parts in that area would wear over time and get worst.

Might want to jack it up and take the wheel off. So as to look for any faults or junk off the road. In some cases I have seen pieces of metal get stuck between the bead of the tire and rim.

If anything while its jacked up you could spin the tire, so you can locate the noise.

Well I'm ordering the bearing and seal, hope to get it done tommorow and it be fixed or I find the real issue, hah

few things it could be...

Rotor/pad(lil bro had this issue on his lexus since the pads werent fitted correctly) it the noise would speed up as he increased in speed

Bearing...VERY VERY likely

Jack up the car and shake the wheel if it shutters a touch it could certainly be bearing...often times if the wheel can shake a bit it can be bearing...depending on HOW the bearing is designed/installed on the specific car:P
