Question Lloud hummmmmm:(

On the highway I am experiencing a loud humming noise which seems to be coming from the passenger side front end! The noise doesn't go away when turning either way, and is unnoticable under 60 km/h. Any ideas?

most likely a wheel bearing.

i get mine replaced for about $250 parts and labour. if its really loud humming, almost to a point that it sounds like metal to metal grinding--GET IT REPLACED

mine is not wheel bearing though. It's some sort of wind noise for sure from the passenger side.
