I have a 2010 Toyota Camry v6. XLE. For a few months now I heard a thumping noise coming from the back wheel, not sure which one the noise and vibration goes with the speed of the wheel and especially noticeable at anywhere from 40 to 55. Higher highway speed it dissipates some. I had someone check wheelbearing awhile back and they said it’s ok. When I put different tires on it seemed a lot less, thinking maybe tires where cupped. Could this poetetially be struts? Or does it sound like wheelbearing? Is there any. Simple tests or areas to check that would be a indication of either? Thanks
It is very possible you had both tire noise and wheel bearing noise at the same time, you could try rotating the tires and test driving to see if the noise follows. I would visually inspect the rear struts to see if they are leaking, and spin the rear tires in the air and listen to the hubs with a stethoscope.
