2000 LC with 302k miles. I've done front wheel bearings in the past few weeks thinking that was my problem. I have NOT done, or really checked the rear bearings yet. This started when my trac control light flashes and beeps at 35 mph when turning sharp to the right. That problem persisted after the front bearings were done. SO....the noise I'm getting is a "roaring" noise that gets worse at highway speeds. When I change lanes back and forth, I can hear/feel the roaring getting worse, then going away depending on which "turn" I'm in. My theory was that the front diff might have internal bearing issues that get louder when the one side loads up. Today I had the front diff fluid drained and filled. Clean fluid came out and zero change to the noise at highway speed (not that I expected a fluid change to fix anything). Has anybody had a similar issue? I'm normally pretty good to diagnose a problem, but this one has me stumped. Any thoughts? My u joints are old (probably original) but I don't have any vibration that normally comes with a failing u joint and this sounds to be EXACTLY like a roaring bad wheel bearing. I suppose my first step is to check the rear bearings, but not sure if they are bad enough to have any play in the rear wheel when jacked up. I'm open to thoughts and solutions before I drop this at a shop on Monday. The shop that did my front wheel bearings recently were supposed to check the rear, but I feel like they jumped to the conclusion that I initially did and replaced the front wheel bearings. Thanks in advance for any tips and pointers.
