[QUOTE="FishingBuds, post: 243457, member: 173"] Opinion needed from a auto mechanic, I'm just starting on figuring this thing out but for the last 3 months my front wheel drive mini van has been making a humming/whinning sound from the front end say left side I believe. I'm hoping it's a bearing issue not a trans issue! It starts at 30 mph and continues to increase in tone/pitch as the van goes faster, it does not go along with rpm's of the engine, it only goes along with the vans speed. I just put brand new tires on it yesterday and it still does it! Actually seems louder now, I guess because of a quiter ride from new tires. Would you think it maybe axle issues and if so what do I look for to confirm it? Any help will help me, I usually do most repairs myself(poor boy here) but I'm not familiar with front drive vehicles. Its a 1998 Toyota sienna van 6cyd [/QUOTE]
