    Ok, so a couple weeks ago I installed the ecgs bushing. From 40 to 60 mph the noise greatly went bye bye. However, starting at around 60 mph to around 70/74 mph (especially around 60 to 65) the humming noise is very annoying. I can’t figure what’s causing it, just looking for some input.

    Yes it is. Was wonder if it is the other, passenger side bearing. I have a leveling kit on it also . Didn’t see any real junk on the magnet either. Its perplexing to say the least.

    Alignment/tire noise?! I’m dealing with a similar thing after swapping my spindles! Can’t for the life of me figure it out even swapped the bearings!

    Just had it aligned. I’m thinking it’s either the other bearing or in the differential. I sent a message to ecgs to see if they can help. I will post their responses nose if any. It’s vey fn annoying.

    We swapped my spindles and my shit went haywire. Had an alignment, swapped bearings retorqued CV I’ll try and go pro the noise tomorrow maybe! But it’s odd if I went from tolerable tire road noise to an unbearable like drone/hum! Def keep us posted!

    Well, it appears that it is the passenger side wheel bearing. I have removed it and it definitely is the bearing.
