1986 / 5000cd
I presume that I have a bad wheel bearing or could it be something else????
Symptoms:
Constant front noise when moving, increasing when turning left - less noise when turning right.
It seems to be worse after braking.
Any suggestion would be appreciated
Happy Holidays

Sounds like a bad wheel bearing. Also you may want to check the front brakes to make sure that they are not "dragging" too...check for uneven wear on the rotors/pads and hot spots after the cars been driven for awhile...
If it's a bad wheel bearing dont wait to long to get it fixed. You dont want to wear the hub out also...hth.

Generally which ever side is under load while turning will make the bearing noisey...fairly easy if you already know that the noise is coming from the front or back already. Drive around for awhile while making turns both ways and listen carefully...good luck.
