Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Malibu / February 20061997 Malibu Roaring Noise from front
I have a 1997 Malibu with 72,0000 miles. I am hearing a roaring noise from the front end around 35-45 mph and gets louder the faster I go. Has anyone had this problem? It sounds like a possible wheel bearing or a possible transmission problem ? ouch! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks > I have a 1997 Malibu with 72,0000 miles.

Thanks Don't know what it is, but if it's a moving part and making that kind of noise, you better get checked out by a qualified mechanic quick! A friend of mine has a '98 malibu with 231,000 miles on it. It had a noise similar to the one described and it was a bad wheel bearing in the right front. > A friend of mine has a '98 malibu with 231,000 miles on it.

I had it checked out and nothing wrong. This car just makes noises. > I have a 1997 Malibu with 72,0000 miles.

The 2003 I once owned was noisier than most cars I've been in. I've read that the 2004+ Malibu is a bit more refined. We've got our '97 Malibu going to see our mechanic next Monday. He said it is most likely a wheel bearing given the age and miles of the car. We're lucky to have a great mechanic that we've been using for almost 20 years. He'll find the problem and also give a basic going over looking for anything else that could be coming up with the car. Melissa > We've got our '97 Malibu going to see our mechanic next Monday.

But wheel bearings can fail at that low mileage on occasion. > We've got our '97 Malibu going to see our mechanic next Monday.

I have had several cars do this (including my 03 Malibu) and sometimes it would go away when I rotated the tires, and sometimes I had to put up with it until I replaced the tires. >> We've got our '97 Malibu going to see our mechanic next Monday.

My 2000 Malibu roared like crazy. It was difficult to tell where it was coming from. Also, the passenger side rear tire was wearing on its inside, and I suspected misalignment. However, I happened across a great deal on tires, and replaced them all, and the roaring went away. I HAVE AN 04 MALIBU AND IT MAKES A SOUND TOO. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND IT WAS THE BRAKE CARLIBER LOOSE BUT CHEVROLET HAS BAD BRAKES ANYWAY. MY BRAKE PAD ARE NEW AND STILL SQUEAK AND MAKE A ROARING AND A HORRIBLE GRINDING SOUND. >> We've got our '97 Malibu going to see our mechanic next Monday.

If the pad was loose, that almost always means that whoever installed it did so incorrectly. As for squeaking and grinding, that means someone was done wrong most of the time. As for the roaring, in my experience this is ALWAYS the tires. Everything Chevy I have owned in the last several decades has had issues with how the front tires wear that cause them to make a roaring/rumbline sound after a while. This always goes aways when they are replaced.  SignatureCy Welch Senior Programmer MetSYS Inc http://www.metsysinc.com check front weel hub |
