yeah, better description please.
I am guessing wheel bearing?

could also be a badly balaced front wheel on the pass side ...

its almost like a groaning sound, similar to a quiet dirt bike or atv? its hard to describe, i was hoping someone had the same problem at one time. at times that side of the car gives off a hollow sound on a slightly bumpy road, maybe like a suspension problem? I dunno i asked the mechanic about it when i replaced the timing belt a while back and he suggested it could be the tire, but i dunno.

Could be a tire - what kind of wheels and tires do you have? Also, what is the tread wear like? If you have a tire depth gauge messure from the inside to the middle to the outside and compare, if you have uneven wear, you could need an alignment or just a balance. Sounds to me like tire noise which could have been caused by the above.

wgheel bearing , they can humm and sound like a bad road noise from inside the car!!!

mine almost sounded as loud as an exhaust system before I replaced it.

a hollow sound on a bumpy road cna also be a strut .. have heard that sound before many a time

i would check out the pass tire, bushings, alignment strut .. etc ... while in there check the C/V joints as well as ball joints.

mine are shot its actually louder than my exhuast with no cat! i have one gone but no time to have it looked at right now.

anyone know how much labor it would be to get them replaced? the haynes says not to replace them yourself due to tools needed.
