This is going to sound strange but here is the deal. All of the sudden my ST has this loud humming noise ( like I am driving on off road only tires). It only makes the noise going straight, but when I turn the wheel to the right to take an exit ramp, or fairly sharp turn the noise goes away completely. If I make a left turn I still have the noise.

And ideas? Tire Balance, alingment, mechanical issue?

Thanks,
Chad
 






check the wheel bearings,, they hum,,
i think cause they don't know the words,, , hehe,, just kidding, ,

one of mine did for a while , than it became a crunchy sound,, when turning,,
 






Has the problem been fixed yet, and if so what did you do to fix it? I have had the same problem since I got my 96 a few thousand miles ago. The noise is only there when driving 30-50 mph and loudest at 40. Goes away when I turn right, but not left.
