Bad Wheel Bearing
Recently my car has been making a humming noise at acceleration and the higher the speed, the louder it is. The car drives perfectly fine but I'm guessing it's a bad wheel bearing? Every shop that I've gone to has told me that it's weird for it to be going out this early at 63k miles but they suspect it's that so I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

I've had my wheel bearings go bad twice now. I spent quite a bit of time trying to get the horrible dealers out here to replace them when I was both under warranty/just out of warranty.
Finally got feed up and had them replaced at an Indy shop…now I'm having the same issue again. Luckily there's a 2 yr warranty on the part so just need to make another appointment. I'm only at 56k miles. Originally noticed the issue maybe around late 30k early 40k miles. Wheel bearings go bad on this platform, it's not totally mileage dependent. |

Get your wheel bearings from FCP Euro. Lifetime warranty on every part they sell. Once you purchase your part from FCP Euro, when your part needs replacing, you purchase the replacement and send your old part back to them. They inspect it (confirming it was purchased from them) and then refund your purchase price.

I'd definitely go the FCP Euro route as markw10702 mentioned. I buy as much as I can from them. Found out about them after I'd already done my bearings but will go through them in the future since I seem to be lucky enough to have this as a recurring issue. |

@ 115k miles, my front wheel bearings had some play but no noise. I swapped out one side because a lug hole was stripped by someone with an impact gun who didnt thread in the lug bolt b4 tightening.
It was still fine but very loose like it didnt have enough bearing grease. It spun very easily compared to the replacement. Will probably replace the other side soon. Rears probably need replacing as well but thats a much tougher job. |
