huuuuuummmm.... bearing?

[96gp_Toronto]

so the humming starts around 30mph and just gets louder the faster I go. New tires balanced and installed with correct tire pressure. I'm thinking wheel bearing??? Any help always appreciated.

 

Thanks

Probably. Sounds like what my mom's Regal was doing. Same problem.

Yep thats a wheel bearing. Try to remember when you buy a wheel bearing, its one of those things that you get what you pay for. A cheap bearing won't usually last 2 years. Buy a Timken assembly, its a little more, but lasts a while. If you do it yourself, make sure you follow the right torque for the axle nut. If you don't, your new bearing can go bad it 10 miles.
