Car Issue - Calling All GearHeads

[DemmBalls]

If you replaced it with a quality part and your wife didn't thrash the car the left wheel should be fine. I'd go with the intermediate shaft bearing. Not sure how to test either. Google is your friend

She is fairly easy on cars, but I forget who the manufacturer of the bearing was? Could be a crap part?

I reread your post right before posting this. Was the hub assembly fully pre-assembled? Did you grease the bearing? now remember I wrote the rest before this.

I know a fair bit about cars.... I can rebuild a motor haha and put a suspension together that I take apart.

Every wheel bearing that has ever needed replacing to my knowledge normally doesn't make the car vibrate at least in the beginning stages.

If you get to the top of a hill and drop the car into neutral windows down and the radio off. With out applying the brakes, do you hear a grinding whirring noise? If so its a wheel bearing.

CV joint should only pop if you turn the wheel while moving. Early stages you normally have to turn the wheel all the way.

top vibration causes.
-bent wheel (out of round tire)
-alignment (this includes bad tierod ends etc.)

Thanks for the input.

To my knowledge it is a sealed bearing, so no grease is required. I may be mistaken here?

I did the top of a hill trick (in neutral) and the vibration and grinding/ticking/humming was still there. I think it's leaning towards another bad bearing? At 6 months old??? WTF!

Edit: Will a wheel bearing make a squealing noise? It especially makes this noise when the wheel is cut to the left while moving.

Please keep the suggestions coming!
