Squeaking Noise? (Wooooo?) - Toyota Yaris Forums

soup1207 · 05-30-2013, 03:03 PM

Hi all,

Any of you experience a weird noise when your yaris is reaching or slightly over 70 mph? (or let say it's a certain speed). The noise is like "woooo....." and the length is unstable....sometimes long, sometimes short...but keep happening at about that speed.

Any one has an idea of what it is?

Thanks,

Ricky

any potential risk to driving or potential harm to my car (like affecting other parts in car)?

You don't want to be driving your car and have (especially the front) wheel bearings fail. The issue with your car might not be the wheel bearings, but I'd say that could be a correct diagnosis. I've only had two things go wrong with my Yaris. One was the front wheel bearings and the other was the alternator. The sound you describe was gone after I replaced the wheel bearings in my Yaris. I wouldn't go to Canada with the thought that my wheel bearings might fail.

I get a wind noise above 70, sounds like the windshield is not sealed properly..

A little over $300 USD on my Yaris.

I had the outside shop buy it from the dealer, IIRC, re cheaper (overall) than if I bought the part from the dealer -- labor was $156.00 , parts = $157.98 , supplies $12.56, and tax $14.07 -- so total = $340.61

I do know that it was obvious they were going on my Kia.
When I'd break the steering wheel would shake like crazy and veer to the right.
It always made a slight grinding/crunching type of sound during sharp turns.

Does yours do that?

I don't have the symptom you mentioned. I only hear noise when it's getting close to 70.

It's weird as sometimes it disappear..Like today
At first, it "woo wooo.." when close to 70....after a while, it seems worsen, "woo" at about 6x ...

A while later, when I try to speed up again, it disappear....=___=

An update --
I follow some instruction online to jackup my car...then try to shake the wheel to see any noise. It seems normal. (I shake with my hands on the top and bottom of the wheel).

Is it possibly something relate to belt slipping?

Today got my car back from a good rating auto repair store (good rating according to yelp.com). They can't hear any noise .. According to them, it shouldn't be a problem os wheel bearing.

Now I can only hope it's some sealing problem like windows.

Keep you guys update for future reference if I figure that out.
