Noisey front end
The front end of my car has developed a very noisy front end. It starts at around 30mph and gets louder as speed increases. It gets to the point where it makes a vibration that can be felt. Also, my ABS light and TRAC CONT light have been on since i bought the car. Previous owner said they had been on the entire time he owned the car. I have done a little research and found people that have had exact problems but found no answers. Have been told most likely one of 3 things. 1- wheel bearings 2- CV joints 3- bad or misaligned ABS sensor Would appreciate a little more input before i start replacing parts.

First check the plastic splash panel under the front of the vehicle
they have a habit of breaking off the mounting pegs and flap from the air flow under the front of the car
the faster you go the harder they flap
abs and traction lights work off the same wheel sensors so there could be a broken wire to a wheel or a problem wheel sensor
wheel bearings are a growl or a disc brake scratching noise on cornering
cv joints click going slow and when on slight turns
the abs sensor is part of the hub so that brings it back to wheel bearings
best idea is to go to an accredited service center and have a proper diagnosis done and a quote and don't spend a dime until you have that done
