Wheel Bearing suspicion....

[NickAlero2000]

Steady grinding near the front left side of the car...
can be described as follows:
my speed increases, the rapidness of the grinding increases. if i go slow the opposite happens...
anyone concur? I would wait for the tell-all lights to come on, but this sounds REALLY bad...

change, might also be a sticking caliper....

i thought that too, but my entire brake setup is less than 10 months old....
R1 Concepts, calipers brand new OEM and ceramic pads all around....

I have had identical symptoms with bad wheel bearings on more than one car.

sounds like it could be the axle or cv joint aswell, but i can tell you its either the wheel hub or axle, how many miles on the car?

here's what you do, jack the car up next to the suspected wheel, if it off the ground and you can shake it back and forth, you need a new wheel bearing....Thanks, Kyle

it failed your test. it shook back and fourth with very little effort....
