If you can get yourself an automotive stethoscope, spin the wheel and listen to it. It should sound like metal grinding, much like a knife sharpener or something like that. From my experience, the side w/the bad bearing, was much easier to spin the tire in comparison to the other, though there is no concrete proof here, it's just an observation from my father's car. Edit-Sorry, my browser only showed the first three posts, till I actually posted, so I'm not sure if this is pertinent information or not.

If you don't have correct torque on the nut it could be loose and making the humming metal to metal noise. On the same note - you can't just crank those nuts down as tight as you'd like em either - the torque spec is there to properly load the wheel bearing. Too much and you distort the races and mess the bearing up and too loose? It'll make lots of noise and drive you crazy.

HENRY the noise has been there for quite some time, even before the swaped axle. I believe its been 2 years #0009
