HELP!
I am getting a very strange noise in the front end of my 97 Hyundai Accent. I have just purchased this vehicle and am learning about it as I go. I hear but do not feel in the steering a pulsating sound, especially noticable when turning. It happens regardless of if it is in gear or coasting in neutral. I do not think it is a brake rotor, i've heard that noise before and this is not the same. I am wondering if it is a bearing or something like that.... possibly wheel bearings or the front axle or possible something to do with the transaxle...

I am trying to troubleshoot the problem and narrow down the possiblities.... Can anyone make a suggestion?

Thanks

Had it looked at. Turns out it was a wheel bearing on the front drivers side. $165.00 later..... good as new.

Hi, This also happened on my 2000 Hyundai Accent at around 78,000 miles. I think the part cost around $40 and I put it in myself. It was not a fun job next time i would rather pay $165 for it! Did you replace both sides or just the defective one? How many miles does your car have?

It was just the drivers side. The other side was OK. My Accent has 97,000 miles on it.
