Re: Bad whell bearings

Wheel bearings can make noise similar to tire noise.

I had experience spending a lot of time tracking down a wobble noise from the tire. I replaced 4 tires (it's time to replace anyway), and the noise was still there. I rotated the tire and the noise came from the same place.

Finally a tire shop "spin" the tire on the vehicle and showed me that the same tire rotates on one spindle is smooth but on the one where the noise came out is shaky. Replacing the bearing solved the problem.

Good luck.
