And if you turn right and the sound is gone, it is a bad right wheel bearing. Edit. WB change how to. http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=v6maint&Number=895425&Forum=v6maint&Words=hub%20replacement&Match=And&Searchpage=0&Limit=2500&Old=allposts&Main=895425&Search=true#Post895425 and some $ info on Wheel Bearings. http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=general&Number=1229546&Forum=general&Words=wheel%20bearing&Match=Entire%20Phrase&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=3months&Main=1229489&Search=true#Post1229546 Last edited by Tony2005; 05/23/06 03:11 AM.
