Change out your front wheel bearings.Some say don't worry about the back, but I would change those out as well. Hwile your at it, go ahead and change out your Right & Left CV Axles as well for peace of mind. In my used car I'm having the same noise issues and when I go over speed pellets on the highways my steering wheel pitches left and right(hence CV axles) and noise is promenant when I drive over a certain-high speed limit as well(hence wheel bearings).what I'm doing is going ahead and changing out both left/right CV Axles, ALL Hub assemblies, All Wheel bearings, All brake rotors and (if your not sweating by now) all brake pads and last but not least get a front and back wheel alignment done. If the technician notices wear on the inner side wall of the tires, prepare to change out your Shocks and struts as well!! After this is done, your good to go for another 3-4 years!! If your bogged down and don't have the money to have all of this service done-you MUST at least change out both front left/right CV Axles AND ALL your wheel bearings-to be able to drive without worry of your car suddenly stopping down the highway. WORN CV AXLES will immediately stop your vehicle and WORN Wheel BEARINGS WILL SEIZE your vehicle in its tracks as well!!(I had a quote for all the work (minus the shocks and struts) at $1,765.00. the work included: NEW (right/left) CV axles,4 NEW Wheel Hubs,4 NEW wheel bearings(the heavy duty types-made in Japan),4 NEW (thick) brake rotors and 4 new 50/50 mix heavy duty brake pads(made in Japan) that offer minimal to no squeak and no brake dust accumulation around the wheels. Godd luck with your vehicle. Tackle your project one item at a time.Much success... Change out your front wheel bearings.Some say don't worry about the back, but I would change those out as well.
