2005 Pontiac Grand Prix Logo
Posted on Sep 21, 2011

My 2002 Grand Prix sounds fine upon starting. When I get to 45 mph, it starts to sound as if it's working harder. It's like a loud hum starts and gets louder as it goes up to 60 mph. As I decrease speed, the hum also decreases. I don't think it's there at all much below 45.

Front Wheel Bearing Hub

You will have to remove the brake calipers,hang it,&
remove the rotor,then you can turn the hub & feel the
roughness.

ROCK AUTO.com for parts & look at that hub, so you
match it up the same. Don't get in love with one brand
you like, if the hub looks different at the back where the
speed sensor goes in

You also may find your self buying a torx socket or metric
socket driver to get the speed sensor out. Maybe not

If tools are needed,do yourself a favor & step inside a Snap-On
Truck & just buy one item or so. If you don't ,you won't find those
items anywhere

Weird noise in front of car

How would changing the rear pads fix a noise in the front? Take the front wheels off and look for excess rust on the discs or grit in or on the pads. It sounds like you might be competent enough to take the calipers off (it's not very hard). If the noise gets louder with speed, it could very well be the bearings. This is much harder to do yourself (yay FWD), and you might want to get it towed so you don't damage the hubs, etc. Just shaking the wheel probably isn't enough to diagnose bad bearings.
