Background: coming back from a road trip, the front end developed a shake/shimmy through the steering wheel. Swapped fronts with the backs and it moved to the back. Turns out the former front tires were separating. Thought that was the whole issue. . .what a sucker I am.
There's now a low pitched wom-wom-wom-wom at lower speeds, the traditional higher like a wheel bearing at higher speeds. The low pitched I can feel through the brake pedal, the high pitched not. Doesn't seem to go away turning either direction.
Hubby put it up on jack stands, checked wheel bearings not running, fired it up and checked them running and there wasn't any wom-wom-wom (grrrrr!), looked at the brakes and still found nothing. Tires don't show any unusual wear.
We're fresh out of ideas. Suggestions of where else to look, or other ways to check what we already have????
