Humming sound after modifications. Please help me.
This is driving me insane enough to sell the car. I'm so done with it.
Recently I modified my car.
Installed the SPC Adjustable Lower control arms, new Konig Hypergrams, brand new pilot sport 4s tires, and Tein Flex Z coilovers. Lowered it an inch.
Alignment was 0.05 toe out in the front each side, and 0.05 toe in in the front each side.
The day after I got my tires, one of them was punctured. It was running at about 15 psi (not completely flat at all) and I drove it 3 blocks to the nearest tire shop by my house to get it repaired.
A week or so later I noticed a humming sound. I feel like its coming from the front passenger side but it could be from the rear and my right ear is picking it up.
Its a hummmmmm hummm hummmmmmmmmmmm hummm, kinda whirring, high pitched sound that's barely audible but I can definitely hear it.
- It doesn't change with speed. It comes on at about 20kph and its consistent in frequency and volume
- It doesn't change with turning, or changing lanes
- Its hard to tell if it changes with road surface type, if it does its very subtle.
- I feel like it changes a bit when I go over a bump, but I'm not sure, its very quiet.
- Changing the tire pressure didn't help.
- It doesn't change when coasting, it doesn't change with acceleration, it doesn't change with braking either
- I feel like it gets quieter once I get over 100 KPH.
I've heard everything from its my alignment, or that the SPC bushings are harder and i'm hearing the rear diff.
Any thoughts?
