bad wheel bearing?

[Rex Pedersen]

Most wheel bearings just howl for quite some time(and get worse). My last
one started serious grinding in a short time. In fact it started poping like
a bad CV joint as well. Much different than all the other bearings I have
replaced.

Last year my URQ started making a nasty grinding noise about 3 miles from
home. I drove slowly home and found a bad driver side front wheel bearing.
The grinding was the first indication anything was amiss. It was bad enough
I
had to replace the hub. I'm very conscious of mechanical noises and
vibrations, so I was really surprised by the severity of the failure.
