We put a new set of tires on it and POOF ! No more road noise!. BUT the next set of tires we put on ( we drive a hell of a lot ) we did in fact notice the road noise had not gone away at all leaving me driving down the freeway swerving to hear the changes in the front end sound! THis is most definately something that will require a rack and work! DO NOT IGNORE THE SOUND COMMING FROM THE CAR'S FRONT END !!! I'll post the outcome when I fix it.

OKAY !!! THe car is fixed and it was the front drivers side bearing... Of course I replaced them both but the main noise is from the bearing. We paid 53.00 for the bearing from Napa and had our local neoghbor press it ona nd install them BOTH for $90.00. It took him around 3 hours and it went off without a hitch!

SO BE AWARE OF FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS CALIBER OWNERS !!!
BUY NEW BEARINGS !!!
