Problem overview

Some Hyundai Elantra owners report experiencing a squeaky left front wheel bearing issue, which may be linked to intermittent noises that occur during turning. Although dealerships have previously ruled out wheel bearings as the source of a constant hum, owners should remain vigilant if the noise changes. Additionally, a loud clicking sound during right turns could suggest problems with the suspension or steering components. Some owners also notice a rubber duck-like sound from the front left suspension, indicating a potential issue with the ball joint. Furthermore, when facing first gear transmission problems, it is crucial to observe whether the noise varies with vehicle speed or RPMs to help identify the issue. Given the complexity of these concerns, it is advisable for owners to seek a professional inspection to accurately diagnose and resolve the squeaky wheel bearing and transmission issues in their Hyundai Elantra.
