due to the awd you cant just jack up each wheel and spin it . when i road test for w/brg noise you listen for a slight whirring hum that increases and decreases with speed or sometime as you swerve back and forth you hear it as the vehical weight shifts side to side (right swerve left w'brg left swerve right w'brg) as a rule but not always . have a passenger sit in the back to help verify front or rear> dont guess and just replace one . w'brg's come in three flavors cheap mid grade and premium.
the labour to change is the same. my advice dont end up paying for the labour twice buy the better or best , cheap parts cost more in the long run!
most car swing to what ever the camber is on the road if it just drifts across slowley this is normal if it sudenly goes very sharpley check these things front breaks are not binding on wheel bearing track rod end broken or week springs worn shocks steering rack faulty or stiff check these things out first hope this helps ivan uk
Sounds like a wheel bearing. Jack up front end and spin wheels by hand and listen for grind. Same for rear wheels. Make sure brake linings are good all around. Do the swerve test. Drive down road bout 40mph and swerve moderately one side to other. If noise gets louder with weight shifted to one side more than other its most likely a wheel bearing.
Is this a front wheel drive car? If so, the noise may well be from a CV joint coming apart. Given the extent of parts you have replaced, not much is left. Also might look to see if something is rubbing on a part of the rotating wheel / hub assembly.
does it change when you swerve from right to left? when you swerve not hard turn but just slight motion enough to shift wait of car. you have worn out wheel bearings either one side or both. very hard to do at home unless you have a 2 ton press and snap ring pliers. not a fun job. Does the sound have a rotational sound. that would be the first thing to look at how many miles on the car?
At that mileage it could be, and most likely is given your description of the noise. I assume it reduces in volume as you slow down. If you can find a quite piece of road drive up to where the noise is apparent and lightly swerve from left to right. (Don't roll the car!! ) If the noise reduces as you swerve left then its the left bearing. If its when you swerve right that the noise reduces its the right bearing. If its both the only way is to jack the rear up and spin the wheels as fast as you can and listen. If there's a hint of a rumble from it, its that bearing or both. It should be completely quite apart from the slight hiss as the shoes rub on the drum. 35K may not seem much but if you don't know the history of the car it could have hit a bad pot hole or even had a knock on a kerb. I have replaced bearing with a lot less miles than yours.
