wheel bearings - who has replaced?
How loud was the noise from your bearings? I'm getting a little noise from my front end but I'm not sure if its just tire noise.
In the past the noises I have associated with bearing failure are loud and seem to increase in volume the faster you go. This is not the case for me right now.
Thanks Guys.

My rear bearings sounded like I was driving an airplane.
I replaced a front bearing after humping a curb as it was a noticeable hum when turning, felt even in the steering wheel.
The only bearing I have not changed is the front, passenger and I am thinking it's making a slight hum when I turn at slow speeds.

the majority of wheel bearings ive replaced didnt have any play in them. and when they did, the wheel would move like an inch or so lol. they make diff noises. hums, buzzes, knocking noises.....but make turns and see which side it is that gets louder when you turn a certain way. hard left=right side and vice versa.

It seems to go away at about 35 mph...but my intake/exhaust aren't exactly quiet either.

I noticed one of my front wheel bearing DID have play, but I already knew it was worn since it would hum during lane changes on the highway.
You will hear a wheel bearing around 40MPH and I think the more worn it is- the louder it will sound.

I replaced my rear when I was getting humming sound, it is a very distinctive sound and cannot be mistaken with a tire sound. If you wanna check for sure find a road that has two diff types of tarmac, get some speed and see if your humming noise changes. If yes.......might be tire, if no...........it's a bearing.

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
