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.

ProMan,

Yeah it was the bearing after all The rusted exhaust piper was replaced also so everythings water under the bridge now. Just one less things to worry about.

Now all I need to change is the driving belts, water pump and timing belt. Oh well just another 6-700 bucks. Maybe I'll buy the parts and hunt for a private mechanic to install them.
