Vehicle make/model 2001 warner bros venture van
Mileage = 70000
Engine size = 6
dash lights = no
codes = no
tech = jk
question = makes noise when driving on road when going around curves
its quiet. if you turn the wheel loose it goes straight if you turn just
a little either way the noise stops.
JK:
The noise you are describing could be tire noise or possibly a noise front hub bearing.
Hub bearings will make noise when turning in one direction, and not the other. That is,
unless both are noisy.
To check for a tire noise, rotate the front tires to the rear and see if the noise goes
away or changes.
For a noisy wheel bearing, drive the van straight. Turn the wheel slightly to the right. If
the noise is there, or gets louder, then the left front hub bearing is the most likely cause.
This is because the body roll puts the vehicle weight on the lf. side during a right turn.
Same rule applies for a left turn.
