Answer
HI SCOTT. THIS IS A EASY ONE. JACK THE CAR UP SO BOTH FRONT WHEELS ARE OFF THE GROUND.[MAKE SURE CAR IS VERY SECURE] START THE CAR UP PUT IT IN DRIVE OR SECOND IF MANUAL TRANS,PUT THE PARKING BRAKE ON AND GET IT GOING ABOUT 3O MILES PER HOUR.GET OUT OF THE CAR AND PUT YOUR HAND ON THE FENDER OR COIL SPRING,YOU WILL FEEL THE NOISE YOU HEAR LIKE THIS. YOU HAVE EITHER A BAD LEFT OR RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING. YOU MAY HAVE ONLY ONE WHEEL SPINNING AT A TIME.IF SO YOU WILL NEED TO GET A LONG BAR TO HOLD OFF THE WHEEL THAT IS SPINNING,WILL NEED HELP WITH THIS]PUT THE BAR ON THE GROUND AND HOLD UP AGAINST THE TIRE, NOW HAVE YOUR BUDDY PRESS ON THE GAS JUST A LITTLE TO GET IT GOING 30 MPH, CK FOR THE NOISE [ROARING] YOU HEAR. ONE OF THE WHEELS WILL BE VERY LOUD.. REPLACE THAT WHEEL BEARING. MAKE SURE YOU TORQUE THE AXLE NUT TO CORRECT SPECS. LOOK UP ON THE WEB FOR YOUR CARS SPECS....ALSO IF THIS CAR HAS ABS BRAKES PULL THE FUSE OR ABS RELAY BEFORE BLOCKING OFF THE WHEELS. THIS WILL STOP IT FROM JERKING. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU TOM..
