    I've got a howling sound between 60-65. When making right turns at that speed, the howling stops. Has anyone ever heard of this?

    Build thread coming soon!
    Having the sound go away when you turn right sounds like a wheel bearing. The right turn takes the weight off of it and it gets quiet. It should get louder if you turn left (increasing the weight on it)

    It doesn't get louder...it stays pretty much the same...is there a way I can isolate if its the front or rear?

    It's likely a front one if it changes when turning. Maybe someone else can help you guess which one. I've read several threads here where they got the correct one first, and some where the first side they tried didn't fix it but the second side did.

    Rotate the tires to make sure it's not a tire problem.
    Always replace suspension parts and brake parts in pairs.
