also u say it happened after u drove it sounded normal then couple hours later after sitting it was horrible, wheel bearings dont go just like that, they start to wear and get more and more worn and noisy with time.. could be another issue

Had this problem for almost 2 years before it got fixed

We tried everything for the vibration... The dealer finally gave me ne wheel and tires.. PROBLEM FIXED. It was the wheels...............

Howerver about 10,000 miles on the new wheels, the vibration came back, and I still have them at 73,000 miles. now dealer won't even look at it anymore.

Whoever said you can't tell a wheel bearing is bad when it's under-load is correct.

Whenever I've had wheel bearings go bad, I've been able to grab the wheel at the top (when parked!) and then been able to shake the wheel toward the car and then toward myself with a noticeable clunking. It sounds similar to when you have your wheel freshly set on the hub and you've only hand torqued the lug nuts on. Its that kind of clunk.

This seemed to have started too abruptly to be a mechanical problem in the drive train.... Did somebody try to jack your wheels and left some of the nuts loose? I am sure you already check all your wheel lugs.

Good luck
