HELP PLEASE!!!! can't figure out this noise

[wannabe_svt]

I have a growling noise coming from the front of my car that sounds almost like a bearing noise I have checked my bearings and they feel fine, no play and they feel smooth when turning by hand. I just replaced my passenger side axle thinking it was my carrier bearing but I still hart the noise. Its a constant growling noise when I drive, what can it be? Please help its driving me crazy.

I would still check the bearing. I just went through this exact same thing 2 days ago.
Jack the car up and remove the entire brake assembly from the side making noise. with just a bare hub assembly you can get a better feel and or look at how the bearing is doing. Look for grease on the inside of the brake rotor, caliper and the Knuckle itself. I had both wheels in the air, trans not in gear. drivers side was smooth, pass side was hard and gritty.

here is what mine looked like from the back side.

I've done this and both sides spin freely. No grease on either side like the pic. That's what has me really baffled

I just realized my passenger side motor mount is broken. Could that possibly cause the issue?

[Andrews-bad-SE]

It could cause some shaking, so that "growling" could be that. Does the sound come from that side?

I'm not too sure it almost sounds like it's the whole front, kind of hard to determine from inside the car

I'd be replacing the mount. either oem or a poly one. You do have a poly dogbone don't you?

Yeah I plan to trace the mount this weekend with a stock one for now and possibly do the poly fill mount mod to the broken one until I can get the real deal. And yes I do have the poly and driver side poly mounts. The PO left a stock mount on the passenger side for some reason

OK So I looked into this issue again and so far I can hear and now feel my driver side wheel bearing is part of the issue so next weekend I wll see if I can replace both wheel bearings. ( I will feel better, plus the 2 that are on now were put on by me 2 years ago when my Uncle owned the car
