Q: There is a weird sound coming from the front driver side of my car.
There is a sound coming from the front of my car, in the area near the driver side wheel and engine. It's like a high-pitch whine. It is not all the time but when it happens it starts when I get above 25 mph and is constant. No vibrations accompany the sound. When I drop below 25 mph the sound stops.
My car has 150000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
