1998 Cavalier Wheel Bearing????
I have a 1998 Cavalier. 2.4L, Automatic, 4 door.
I started getting a loud groaning noise when I was turning left. Now the car makes the noise while driving striaght. It gets louder as the car goes faster and seems to stop when the break is applied. I diagnosed it as a bad front left wheel bearing, I just needed another opinion before I tried to replace it.
Thanks

I just replaced them a while ago, and I dont get the slow popping when turning. That's why I didn't think it was a CV joint. I am going home on monday and I will check those first. My fear is that it is the transmission or the differential, but the car makes the exact same noise when it is nutruel. I have to get the transmission flushed soon anyways, I am at 83,000 miles and I don't trust the "never needs to be changed" transmission fluid.

I had almost the exact same symptoms on a Chrysler Sebring. Replacing the wheel bearings fixed the problem. I would do both sides at the same time. The other one can't be far behind.

I suspect the original poster has it fixed by now; hopefully this helps you, alster.
