Re: Wheel Bearings

["Matt Willey" <mwilley@logical123.net>]

    If it is really your wheel bearing you will have no trouble finding out
which one is bad.  Trust me, I had one replaced already. As I recall, you
will hear the noise louder when turning one way or the other depending on
which side is bad.  Mine sounded like a jet airplane taking off.  So, I
would say save the money and just replace the bad one.  Good luck.

HTH,

Matt
