[s-cars] UrS4 Test Drive

[Jerry Scott]

I had a front wheel bearing fail on my 93 S4 and it made a low frequency 
rumbling sound when turning the wheel.  The noise got progressively 
worse over several thousand miles but never caused any damage.  I 
eventually had it replaced to get rid of the noise.
