Default Re: Loud Buzzing Noise in the Front? Defective wheel bearing!

Just for giggles:

Has the vehicle been involved in a collision (even a small rim only collision) in the front corners? Large drop pot-holes??

As some technicians will say, accellerated wear on the bearings can occur if the conditions favor it - The above are just some of the most common.

Then it can also be a manufacturing, assembly or design defect - at which point it becomes a general concern worth looking into. So far (as of today), no services bulletins appear to have been issued on this problem.
