Bearings (VAG) noise symptom from wheels replacments

[SuffolkD at aol.com]

Tihol:
Generally, noise under load, like turning.
I had what I thought was a bad bearing (noise in turns none while straight), 
it turned out to be loose wheel bolts.  Torque to 81 ft lbs or whatever your 
wheel specs are.

Also check to see if you have aftermarket wheels if the bolts are Ball end 
and rounded to seat into the wheel holes.  Cone or Conical aren't for Audis 
unless the alloy / wheel/ is drilled for that type of fastener.

What I'm talking about are here:
