Strange one, as stated in heading the sound is rhythmic to speed, new bearings shafts discs and pads on front, still there, louder turning right quiet turning left average in a straight line, been on lifts with mechanic friend and can’t find anything, in drivers seat sounds like near side, in passengers seat sounds like offside, 😟😟, any help would be appreciated 🍻🍻

Hi fasteddie69

What make, model and year is this car? Front wheel drive or All wheel drive?

I would suspect an outer CV joint. Did you fit new joints on the new shafts?

If you lift one front wheel at a time, what does each side sound like if you spin one wheel at a time by hand (in neutral)? See if turning the steering wheel fully left or right makes a difference.

If front wheel drive, if you start the engine and when idling put it into gear (one wheel up at a time, with handbrake fully on, and making sure you can't do any damage if it slips off the jack), what sound do you get then?
