Default Re: Wheel Bearings gone bad on any one? Very strange noise

Nate, I am experiencing the exact same problem. Car has 33k, and when you slow to ~20 mph it makes a loud noise similar to bad bearings. When you apply the brakes it is also noisier. It appears related to the wheels turning.

I replaced the front inner and outer bearings and races along with the seals. Seems like only a slight improvement,if at all. I was sure it was the bearings based on the noise and past experiences with other cars, although it occurs usually with higher mileage. The pads and rotors appeared fine.

Nate, did you solve the problem?

(note: we recently bought the car for my wife)
