Angry Sound Driving Me Carzy!!! :(
Alright, there is a sound coming from the rear passenger side. It is a constant Whum-Whum-Whum sound. The faster you go the faster the sound gets.
I checked out the other forums and i thought it may be the tires. So i replaced all four and the sound is still there?
Is there a way to find out if its Bearings or track arms? Is there any other opinions of what it may be?
Thanks...

CV joint. How do the boots look on the cv joints? Torn?

Sounds like a wheel bearing to me.

just had this same sound on my 98 and it was a combination of the wheel bearing failure which also spun in the wheel hub requiring replacement of both.

Wheel Bearing
Just had a wheel bearing replaced on my 2004 Boxster. Sounds like the same problem. My factory warranty covered it.

It was the bearing, i got it replaced and it sounds PERFECT!
Luckily i didnt have to replace the Hub with it.
Thanks for the advice!
