sounds like a bearing to me

when it gets to that loud... try this

on a highway... do a series of fairly quick lane changes and listed to the sounds


it should change pitch.. louder, softer... something


if it does this, then I'm fairly certain your bearings are shot


what this does is loads and unloads the opposing bearings and they get louder or quieter as they get loaded and unloaded

if one is bad... chane them both, because the other will not be too far behind... usually the rears


if it does not change.. not sure what the problems is

I just had my front bearings replaced at 59k. It ran 469.00 plus tax. Fortunately it was covered under warranty.
