Front end vibration when driving.

Good morning all, I have a 2000 Eddie Bauer AWD (5.0) with a front end hum (high frequency vibration) that occurs at all speeds. Brakes are ok, tires have been rotated/balanced. The only time it seems to go away is when going into a right hand curve at highway speeds, as soon as i straighten out, it comes back. Any insight would be helpful so I'm not taken to the cleaners when I have it repaired.

Thanks!

Is it related to vehicle speed, such that the faster you go the higher the frequency?

Sounds like you probably have a right front or right rear wheel bearing going out.

Yes, it starts about 20 mph as a lower frequency growl almost, and then it increases in frequency as speed increases. If it is a wheel bearing, how big of a job is it?

FYI: It was the front drivers side wheel hub assembly. $300 to repair, not too bad.

Thanks for taking the time to post the fix. We really appreciate the time you took to let us know what the fix was. Good luck and Happy New Year.

wheel hub as in wheel bearing??

yes, i believe the whole thing is an assembly. Just make sure that the shop puts ALL the bolts in the brake caliper, which this one failed to do...
