wheel bearings - who has replaced?
I'd say since they only checked the tire for wobble, you should check the bearings themselves and make sure.
Mine didnt have any wobble at all, but the tech checked the bearings and found that they were seized on both fronts. I still get alot of road noise, but now I know that its the tires. So hopefully once I change those out, I'll be good to go. Just dont know what brand are quiet.

$20 it's inner tread feathering. Let me guess, the noise is more prevalent when braking below 40mph. The inner tread block will feel bumpy or scalloped.
Alright here is my problem. The inside noise of my car sounds like a truck with mud tires. I figured it was my tires so I took the wheels and tires off my friends g35 and took it for a test drive. The noise was slightly less but did not go away. I then took it for an alignment for unrelated reasons and they checked the bearings and they said they were fine. I dont know if that is true because they just checked for wobble in the tire. What else could it be tranny? U joint? Rear? im not sure. Thanks for replys

However, I hit a pot-hole and its only on one side so i'm pretty sure an alignment will fix it.
Also, I've been lowered for 3 years now and a ton of miles with no issues until my control arm bushings went bad. I don't think its the suspension geometry.
Took it to the shop an they said it is the tires big time not wheel bearings. The fact that the KDWs are agressive tires and they are cupping makes a bad combination. I felt the inside tread on the fronts and it feels like scales between the treads. I tried swaping the tires left to right on the front and back and the noise didnt go away.

yeah, that should be the right part as long as you looked it up under 2005 AWD.
you should be ok to drive on it for a little longer but realize that you should swap out both at the same time (i think you were planning that anyways)

If you have close to 100K, I would recommend replacing both front bearings. Your rear bearings are going to PEACE OUT soon too. The wheel bearings in our cars are TERRIBLE. I'm pretty sure half of our forum is riding on dangerous bearings.
