Wheel bearings? Buzzing on hard corners

warrenw · 06-13-2021, 09:28 PM

Hi all, during my past two track days I'm getting a buzzing sound in corners. Does not happen during every day driving turns/corners. It is definitely not rubbing.
Question, anybody have issues with wheel bearings? Any way I can inspect them and tell if they're going bad? Anybody else have this issue?

If your bearings would be bad you would hear them all the time. They are annoying as heck. Sounds to me they maybe starting to go.

Check for low trans fluid as well.

Ah ok I see. Do you think it could possibly be my brake pads rattling? Or is that usually just a clunk?

Is there a way to check the level? Tried googling but didn't find much.
