Hi! My '92 Olds 88 Royale was just purchased by me last ...
Hi! My '92 Olds 88 Royale was just purchased by me last Friday. It rides smooth at normal in-town speeds but the other day I finally took it out on the highway and as I approached 40 to 55 MPH... the darn thing started humming seemingly from the right front!!! It almost sounds like a truck horn when speeding along between 55 60 mph.
I'm curious and have been a backyatrd mechanic for almost forty years. It almost sounds like it might be coming through the vents or the bad seal around the right sideview mirror....but I'm not sure.. The right front tire was my first suspect but looks good and there is no vibration in the steering wheel while this low but loud hum occurs. Everything feels powerful and smooth otherwise. Anybody have any ideas?
