Front wheel bearing/break

Is it a one piece wheel hub bearing?

If it has 120,000 on it-- change both sides

The bearing & race type, you take apart & wash
off & look at for wear & markings & replace or
grease & return to service

If you hear a noise from 25 to 40 mph
On a rear drive car, you can remove the
brake rotor & feel the worn bearing --sometimes

You may be able to do that

I would just put the bearings on your Preventative
Maintenance list for 100,000 plus & change them
when you get there

Your Oxygen Sensors go at 100,000

Spark Plugs every 3 years & so on

I don't wait on failure,only as a learning tool,
then those items get added to my list

Wheel bearings don't hum. How about a traction control or anti break lock system malfunction? Or maybe something in your powersteering system

While driving and with radio off, listen to the noise. Find a road that is clear on which you can drive without any traffic. Drive at a constant speed and make light shifts to the left and right, by doing this, the weight of the vehicle will shift to the apposite side of the steering wheel to which you turn.
When you turn to the left, the weight goes to the right (passenger side) wheel, if the noise stops, you may have a bad wheel bearing.
When you turn to the right, the weight goes to the left (driver side), if the noise stops, you may have a bad wheel bearing.
If the noise does NOT go away, then you may have bad CV's.
Another way to check is by lifting and securing in jack stands. Vehicle in neutral and with your hands, rotate wheel with one hand. Other hand place on suspension component. Spring of strut. If you feel slight vibration, you may have a bad wheel bearing.
With vehicle on jack stands, one hand on top of wheel and other on bottom, try to see if you can move the wheel in and out which may be a had CV.

the wheel bearings are going out if thay are now starting to heat up you need to replace them. but you can first jack up the front end ( both sides off ground together) get a long( 8' or better) 2 x 4 and place under wheel on ground andput presure on tire up wad and the tie sould move in a good bearing but if tire moves aound like its lose then it needs replaced

you can check for any play in the bearing up/down or side to side
you can also rotate the tire & see if the noise follows the tire

We can rule out the tire and rim since it blanced with no issues and I'm assuming no wobble was found during the balancing procedure. Rotors were turned, so we can factor this out also. The only component that can not be ruled out is the bearing, it seems fine, but we need to know that it is fine. Has the vehicle been jacked up and supported, placed in gear to see if the noise happens when the wheels are not touching the ground?

Sounds like front wheel bearing or CV joint (constant velocity joint) - get it in before warranty runs out - they are not cheap!

you have a bad front wheel bearing..jack up front of vehicle..put in neutral..block rear wheels..put 1 hand on front coil spring and rotate wheel..you will feel roughness in spring on side that wheel bearing is bad

No, the water-pump would not effect the wheels. I am going to assume it is a noise that the front left wheel makes, and here are some common causes:

• Bearings
• Brake pads
• Suspension
• tire rub
• loose lug

Do these noises occur constantly during the drive? (This is most likely a bearing)
Only while braking? (Break pads)
When hitting rough roads? (Suspension_

Yes it could be the wheel bearing. After stopping, see if the wheel itself is hot to the touch (like burn your hand hot) if so, take it to the shop right away...unless you plan to change out the wheel bearings yourself.
