This happened on my 2022 Camry , problem is my warranty is out, also I checked the shock, brand new no dust or oily. I’m thinking manufactured issue with shocks or somewhere in suspension. Dealer told me it was the wheel bearing. I replaced that also new tires. But after a 2 months the same sound came. I haven’t touched the inner tire yet. But it’s driving me nuts because it’s still new car. The issue came when it was around 20k miles, now the car has 72k
This has been very helpful. Thank you!
You're very welcome, stay tuned, more to come soon, and a little teaser...we're gonna have a little fun with the next ones!
Many thanks..much love from Uganda Kampala .....
Thanks my friend!
Well done. Thanks, this was very helpful.
Thanks and your''re welcome John.
Very helpful full now I know
My daughters Focus did this on the rear. Had to replace the tire and get the car alignment done!
Glad she noticed and got it fixed before the tire got too bad and blew out on her
Having tire cupping on inside edge of both front tires. 2010 GLK350 wverythingbis looking tight in the front end, shocks dont appear to have any fluid leakage or build up. Front thrust arm has some cracking in bushing but still returns to center with side load applied. Do you think a wheel alignment alone would cause these or is there a problm im just not seeing ?
That was awesome !!!!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Keep that joy in wrenching!
You’re right. Replace the shocks. Works every time on a Toyota anyway.
these were the 2nd set on this prius...I wonder if the extra battery weight has anything to do with the failure frequency or if it's just the poor quality of the Duralast brand used? Any ideas?
@@joyofwrenchingpoor quality at autozone for sure, I used to work there and you have no idea how many times we had to warranty suspension parts because they just failed frequently.
I mostly deal with heavy equipment, but we do see this from time to time. Usually from shocks with a slow leak. they tend to get to a point where they're oscillating at just the right frequency and all sorts of damage occurs. Quite cool to see but annoying to deal with for sure.
yeah, I noticed when I removed these shocks they still kindof worked in the full range of motion, but the first couple of inches of travel was free play, so I think it just allowed the tire to bounce a little too much but not enough to shake the rear view mirror off!
Thank you for the video, i faced the same issue.
Glad you found it helpful my friend
Mine did this because the tire had a slow leak. I only had access to an air compressor on the weekend, so it would get low during the week. I didn't know a low tire would get damaged this way, but I was replacing it in a few months, so I didn't take the time to get it fixed. Plenty of tread, just changing to a different wheel size.
that's interesting...maybe the tire being low acted like it was out of balance and helped cause this type of wear...any other ideas out there?
Happen now with my BMW f10, and it's very ennoying, so I changed the front suspension and now I will change the tires 😢
bad shocks and bad balance on the tires. does it every time
Never had a Toyota need an alignment job . I believe shocks would’ve done it for the Ford focus.
right, alignment typically eats the tires in a different way just evenly worn either inside or outside in my experience...what about you guys?
*Damn, what did you record this with?*
Probably a GoPro. Had a camera girl so that helps a ton
I’ve had a womp womp sound. Mostly while turning left. 30-70 mph. Not consistent. Did alignment asked them to look for issues. Couldn’t find any. Going nuts, it’s been a year.
Zero vibrations, zero handling issues.🤷♂️

Could be CV axle or tire. Try simple thing first and rotate tires in x pattern. See if noise goes away or moves with tire. Also check that the inner fender liner isn't loose and rubbing on tire at speed. Bearings would be next to check
Thanks for your time.
I have 2 of the same car. Swapped all 4 rims/tires and sound stays w/ original car.
Rwd so no cv axle. It sounds like front left.
It did start after putting new rotors on. I’ve been meaning to switch them with the ‘good’ car and see if that works.
It almost seems like lifting the car resets the issue. I can often go 10-100+ miles without hearing the sound after an attempt at fixing.
@@joyofwrenching I think it’s the differential
Continentals are junk tires.. the company prefers spending money on advertisement and promotions other than improving the quality of the tire
