	Sounds (!) like a wheel-bearing to me,too -- except that I didn't get
	the variation with steering angle when mine went last month.

	It's actually not *that* difficult a job (I did mine myself for
	well under $100), so if you decide to go that route, I could
	give you some tips, as could a lot of people on the list.  On the
	other hand, it certainly isn't trivial.

	Good luck!
