Im getting a loud woo woow woo sound on the freeway, im thinking its time to replace the wheel bearings. Could it be somethign else? Has anyone heard the same noise?

sorry, i had to

if it's a deep sounding woowoowoowoo it's probably just a tire or your alignment is off...bad wheel bearing while make more of a squeaking noise

How many miles on your tires? All performance tires begin howling after a while (say 10-15K+ it begins and gets worse from there)...

they're about 10k miles in, im on yokohamas AVS. I just rotated the tires, didnt do too much to the sound, only makes it on freeway though.

So the wheel bearing sound is worse?

haha on the bubbrubb i let him out before i heard the woowoo!

I have Yokahama AVS ES100 tires on my 95 SC4. I just picked up my car from the dealer today. I had a WooWooWoo sound coming from my rear - it showed up over the course of a couple days. The noise would go away on a hard left turn. It turns out it was my driver's side wheel bearing. I had it replaced along with the hub (the bearing must be pressed onto the hub) and the seals and labor set me back $700. Normally, I wrench on my car - but I lacked the press needed to install the new bearings. The parts alone are expensive. On my 95 SC4 the parts were:

Rear Wheel Bearing P/N 90369-43005-77 - List $114.78
Shaft Sub-Assy, RR (Hub) P/N 42301-30030 - List $188.97
Seal Type T Oil P/N 90311-63001 - List $20.39

Just for kicks and giggles I called the Toyota dealer as the rear on a SC is the same as the NA and TT Supra - They quoted me $400 but I doubt they factored in all the parts and labor required.

My advice - get it checked out by a mechanic you trust and go from there.

More than likely, it's the tires.
The AVS Sport is a nice sticky tire, but they get terribly noisy at about the mileage you have.
I have 'em on my GS in 20" and they make the same noise... mostly at about 40 mph or so- you can't hear them at freeway speeds.

im thinkin it tires too, it comes and goes whereas im guessing the wheel bearing would be continious.
