I have a 2010 Rav4 that has had a rumbling noise that sounds like it's coming from the right front wheel. I took it to the Toyota dealership for diagnostic. When it went in, the noise could be reproduced fairly consistently between 35 and 45 MPH. They replaced the right front wheel bearing and hub assembly, and that helped the issue, but it didn't go away entirely. Now the rumbling occurs between 37 and 44 MPH At between 1500 and 2000 RPM, and is harder to reproduce. The tech found a service bulletin that pertained to Rav4's that involved reprogramming the computer, but my Rav4 was not among the series of cars that this pertained to. So he reset the computer, tightened up the heat shield around the exhaust, and sent me on my way. I can bring this to Scotty to let him look at it, but I thought I'd try this forum first. Any ideas where else to go would be appreciated. The tech didn't think there was anything to it, nor did he thing the transmission was involved, but I wonder. Thanks
I neglected to mention that the car has 97k miles on it, 2.4 cc engine, with a three speed automatic trans.
Axle, control arm, tie rod, sway bar links, strut, tire, and bad wheel bearing.
Wheel bearing was replaced. Everything else was ruled out by the tech.
Get it on a lift, have someone get in the drivers seat, put it in drive and listen away.
just because they ruled things out doesn’t mean much to me, I could tell you stories
about certain scenarios where I was told we can’t find the problem.
