Yup. From the sounds of it. You can jack that wheel up and shake it in and out it shouldnt have any play at all.

Pretty sure it's the bearing. I ordered mine at eBay for $150 shipped.

Could also be a cupped/feathered tire, they sound a lot like a bad bearing.

The joys of G35 ownership. "Whats this noise?" Wheel bearing, the answer is always wheel bearing.

+1. Might also have your alignment checked. If your toe is out of spec it will accelerate the tire wear and can make a similar noise.

when I had that noise I jacked up my car and I couldnt get any movement out of the bearing, so I changed the tires instead..

the noise was still there, so I changed the bearings.. quiet as can be, even though there was no play at all

I would do both of them.. the other one probably isnt far behind, plus it is a good idea to get your alignment done afterwords, and it is better to only pay for that once
