Road noise from front

Why is there so much road noise on these LS's from the front? Is it the nature of the suspension?

And before you go saying its my tires, I noticed this on 3 other LS's I tried out before buying this one. And these are not the only tires I have had on this car and the same thing.

My old Mark VII is so quite.:tongue:

Anyway I thought maybe its the spindle bearings, but crap, I cant figure out hot to get to them.:banghead:
I removed every bolt and still couldn't figure it out unless their non-replaceable.

The front wheel bearings are sealed bearings and get replaced as part of the hub.

Have you had your LS out on a stretch of new pavement to make sure it is not road noise?

As for trying to compare the LS to the Mark VIII, the LS is more of a sport luxury car and may not have as much noise insulation as your Mark VIII (and yes, I realize the Mark VIII is intended to be a sporty car as well).

Uh I didn't say Mark VIII.

And yes, no matter what the road surface it still makes the same noise.
Asphalt or concrete.

Mark VII, Mark VIII, what's the difference? :)

Well, if you're sure that it's not tires, and sure it's not road surface, then it may be inherent in the car. Does the noise sound like a bearing noise, or you were just wanting to inspect them just in case?
