My Mechanic called back. Upon further inspection, my car is fine. The culprit is my Dunlop Sport Maxx tires that have less than 50% tread left.

Re: Does loud road noise - bearing problem?
Hi Mike,
This is the 3rd summer on my Dunlop Sport Maxx tires. I figure they have a little bit less than 1/2 the tread left. I'm running 235/40/18, on stock rims. I get no rubbing or anything like that.
Last time they were rotated was in May of 2010.
The sound is consistent with speed and does not seem to get any louder when cornering or turning the wheel.
I have not checked the CV boot.

I have a noise comming from the front part of the car... sounds like a rubbing noise.. same noise when driving straight or turning.. & I guess it's a little louder when driving faster. Could that be the same problem as you have?
