1999 Chrysler Concorde tire noise symptoms:

Every time I drive my 1999 Chrysler Concorde at 20-30 mph, you can hear a tire noise at the front. Whenever you make a turn though, the noise goes away. When a front-end alignment check was done, they could not find anything wrong with the brake rotors and all the front-end components. The tires were also rotated and see if the noise would move but it stayed the same. Finally they replaced both the CV joints and still the noise was there.

They are now thinking that maybe the problem is the transaxle. Does it make any sense to you?

Tire Problem Advisor:

I would agree with this shop that the transaxle is a suspect if not for one clue that you gave: every time you make a turn, the noise goes away. For me this sounds like a front hub wheel bearing failure. All you do is to remove the front CV joint assembly from the front tires so you can access the “hub and bearing” assembly. When doing this, be careful of the abs sensor wirings that are also located close to this. Regardless whether the hub bearing looks good or not, just replaces it since the symptom says it all.

Notes:

When in doubt, bring your vehicle to authorized Chrysler dealer shop.

Above repair is only a recommendation and you do this at your own risk. Always have your vehicle align after replacing the tires to prevent repetition of the tire problem.
