Got in my car tonight to discover a loud buzzing/whine coming from (I think) the front end. Not too high pitched, moderate in that regard, but fairly loud and constant. Doesn't change sound or pitch with acceleration, cornering, etc. just gets louder depending on how fast the car is going (levels off fairly quickly, maybe 25mph?). Anyone have any ideas? It's a similar whine to what I had on my old BMW when the power steering pump was going... I mention that not because I think it's the PS pump (I have no clue what it is), but just in case anyone's familiar with BMWs with leaky power steering pumps

 

There is a similar problem (TSB) for Power Steering pump, but the whine is from the rear, not the front and it disappears when you engage the clutch. So wheel bearings?

 

I just checked, and the problem, strangely, doesn't seem to happen in reverse. I'll try putting the clutch in.

 

FWIW...TSB 01/05 4897: Steering Oil Reservoir

 

Thanks. I'll check that out Takes a quick second, but it goes away fairly quickly when the clutch is depressed.
