I am not familiar with the model but after being a repairer for a long, long time, I haven't encountered any vehicle with axles that have to be "timed", whatever you mean by that? I understand the Chevy Tahoe is available with a variety of specifications depending on year - check in the owner's handbook.

Considering the front wheels of a vehicle travel further than the rear and except when travelling in a dead straight line, all the wheels rotate at slightly different speeds, it is difficult to understand how timing the axles would work and what would be the point.

The only thought I have is some 4-wheel drives used Hardy-Spicer joints in the drive shafts instead of the usual constant velocity type. When such a drive shaft has been dismantled it is important to assemble it correctly but while incorrect assembly is likely to produce a less than smooth ride it is unlikely to produce a roaring noise.

I suggest you begin by revisiting the work you carried out to ensure it is correct...

You must replace wheel bearings in pairs to avoid loading the old bearing and, in time ruining your new bearing hub it is possible that you have already damaged the new hub

SOURCE: Loud roaring noise in front, steering wheel has vibration, replaced tires didn't help.

Wheel bearings are likly and I've changed many to solve this problem but it's esy to pick the wrong one with e vehical jacked and on jack stands suporting the car by the lower control arms ( normal ride hieght) run the car with a driver and listen to ti run , of course theres no load on the powertrain so there will be some lash ( power on to power decline ) cheack up. The roaring noise can be isolated by puting a sounding bar ( long metal rod ( sr=crew driver)) other against the part till the sound is rounded up rear but possible the carrier bearings in the (rear end) front drive. The axel bearings and on some units the carrier bearing thats in the CV axel on the block. Sounding rod will find and change the noisey part. Professional help is a good idea if you can't carry this out saftly

My car makes a bad growling noise. Everyone said that it was a front wheel bearing because that tire was worn down really bad on the outside. I replaced the passenger front wheel bearing, and it is still...

WHEEL BEARING USUALLY STARTS MAKING A ROARING TYPE NOISE WHICH USUALLY GETS LOUDER THE FASTER YOU DRIVE, SOMETIMES THEY WILL BE LOOSE , TO CHECK JACK UP THAT WHEEL AND GRAB TOP AND BOTTOM OF TIRE AND SHAKE, IF THERE IS MOVEMENT, TRY TO GET SOMEONE TO ROCK TIRE FOR YPU AND WATCH WHERE AXLE GOES INTO CENTER OF BEARING AND SEE IF AXLE IS MOVING WITH TIRE MOVEMENT AND SPINDLE REMAINS STATIONARY, THEN IT IS BAD BEARING, OR SOMETIMES THERE WILL BE NO MOVEMENT, THEN BLOCK REAR WHEELS AND RUN CAR WITH THAT WHEEL IN AIR AND SEE IF YOU HEAR NOISE, GOOD LUCK.

Growling noise in frt end. only does it as speed is increased. not tranny.cv joints ok. rotated tires frt to back. no change

Most likely a wheel bearing issue....if noise goes away when turning....most likely is the bearing....which side is bad is difficult to decide,and they can be pricey...they are bolt in..so not a lot of labor ...good luck...Lee
