Humming noise in the rear
I have a 1998 A6 quattro. One of my favorite cars I've ever owned. for some time now there's been this loud and very annoying, i must say, noise coming from the rear passenger side wheel. Here's the weird part, the car drives dead silent when Im cornering to the LEFT! At first i thought it was just the wheel bearing but after replacing that it made no difference. Im starting to think it might have to do with the differential considering it did seem a little loose when I was in there. Can someone help me confirm this before I dive into another project?! Or could there be something else that is wrong?
