    Will the hubs be hot?
    Community Answer
    They could potentially get very hot, but by that stage you'd know something was wrong. The noise coming from it would be very annoying and loud.

    Car making a flat tire sound on the left side but there is no flat tire, why?

    This is most likely caused by a bad wheel bearing or a bad CV joint. Unless, of course, you actually have a flat tire or broken belt.

  • Question
    I have low growling noises sounds from the back that get louder the faster I go. One mechanic said change back tires, but the tires are good and have no wear. Another mechanic said he'd have to take it apart to see. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    It could just be the tires; just so you know, tread wear is not the only thing that affects your tires. But it could be something more serious, too. Go to a mechanic willing to look into the issue; the second mechanic mentioned seems like he'd be a good candidate.

    Why does my SUV have a wobble?

    Top Answerer
    A wobbling SUV could be due to tire problems, wheel alignment or balancing issues, brake problems, suspension issues, steering components, driveshaft or CV joint problems, or engine issues.
