Ok So i bought a used GEN C at Carmax, its a 2010 2.0T Premium.

I noticed after i got it there is a dull roar from the front when taking curves

I took it in for service (my wife did) and they told her that the tires are incorrect on the front (too aggressive) and that they would put new tires on it. Now my feeling its a bad wheel bearing-hub in the front

Any opinions?

What size/make/model were the tires that were on their that they were saying were "too aggressive"?

Only times the tires would be making a roaring noise is when they have been neglected and not balanced and out of round. I agree with wild bill, what is the size that was on the car. I am leaning towards bad wheel bearing as constant low roar is more inline with a wheel bearing tires would cause a osolation (sorry terrible speller) in pitch and noise not a constant noise.

Ill go out at lunch and get the tire info and post it, I dont mind getting new tires out of the deal but.... and the noise doenst seem to be getting any worse

Did the rotate the tires? Can put rears in the front.

Icemanzz4

Sorry can't. My bad.

Icemanzz4

Man I can't type today. Ment to say. Maybe their service dept rotated the tires not knowing that they are wider.

CrownRoyal79

+1 on that! Good thinking outside the box.

Icemanzz4

Let us know the out come...good luck.

Tires that have alignment wear in paticular can cause excessive noise, if they become "cupped" or feathered this uneven wear can cause air turbulance around the tires giving off excessive amounts of drone or "roaring" in your case. Running your hand around the tire is the easiest way to tell, if theres any lumps felt, or if the tire is smooth with your hand travelling one way but sharp travelling the other. Without hearing your noise myself it is possible it is due to an aggressive tire tread, its not uncommon for a sport tire to trade off noise for performance(I'm assuming the tires are not the oem potenza's? as they are far from aggressive)

So, they put the new fronts on and guess what? It didnt fix it, so the sent it to the Dealer Thursday and friday they looked at it and said oh yeah its got a bad hub(like i said 2 weeks ago) and they had to order it so i wont get my baby back till tomorrow, but hey i got 2 new fronts right lol

Techmaster_99

So i got the car back and it rides on rails, and with the new Goodyear Eagles on the front and not 1 but 2 new hubs its as quiet as church mouse now

is this covered under warranty? my 2012 track has the same issue on the pass front. only 35k mi i did buy mine from a private seller

BettaSydwayz

Yeah as long as you own the vehicle and have the title. Your bumper to bumper is 60k 60 months. So yeah your golden just bring it into a dealer and tell them your problem. They might make you pay for a diag which is 100 to 120 depending on dealer and service advisor. If it's a dealer warranty issue your diag is covered under warranty. Good luck
