YES. marbel rolling sound. that's the one.Originally posted by Dubbin'
Sorry. You live in canada right? My bad homie. Its Discount Tire Company.. In US. That was probaly confusing. Haha. Yeah.. A wheel bearing would do that.. Not really a grinding sound. More of a humming.. kind of like what a marbel sounds like when you roll it across a table.. You know? (go get a marbel and try it)
Also if the weel bearing is bad it could let the wheel flex side to side.. or up and down. A good way to figure it out yourself would be to jack up the front end of the car. Grab the tire as if you were going to hug it.. and shake it side to side.. You can check to see if any bushings are allowing accessive movement. If they aren't and it still moves it's probally a wheel bearing..
Keep in mind.. It is a german car. So when one thing breaks, it usually means something else broke as well. Haha. Just check out your whole front end.
