Hi I'm new to this so if I don't make sence bare with me. I have a 2002 cavilier. When I reach around 40mph I start to hear a sound that I can only describe as a hollow sound. I have no maintance problems this has been going on around ayear a half. Have traveled from Georgia to Florida several times. This sound is starting to reallllly anoy me. I was told it may be the tire but don't know for sure. I think it sounds like the exhaust but I'm just a girl!!! and don't not squat about cars. Can someone help?

may be your tire rod, take it to a tire company when you go to put new tires on it and ask them to look around for any strange rust or strange parts, its hard to tell with this little amount of information

Thanks, Scott
I was told it may be something to do with my tire. I forgot to also say I had a plug put in a tire. At the time the tire was up front (passanger's side) I also heard a " different side on that side" at that time. It's been about 1 year since they were rotated I can't remember how it sounded. There is no noise up front now. When I had my tires rotated the front tire was put on the back. Could it be something as simple as that? Would have gotten a new tire then but that one was only a couple of months old
Thanks, Lisa

yelp that could cause wut i call a thud sound at slow sppeds which would cause a loud thumping sound at high speeds, a tie rod is what the tire is attached to on the axle and yes it could just be the plug

Thanks, that makes me feel a little easier though I will continue to listen for any other sound until I can get it checked out.
