Default Humming from left rear wheel
Hey-
I have a 1998 A4 2.8 Quattro and A few days ago it started making this humming sound from the drivers side rear wheel. If I turn the car to the left the sound will go away. Anyone have any idea what this could be? It seems like its getting louder every day. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks-

Matt

Default does it get louder/faster the faster you drive? what about when you turn right?
sounds like a bad wheel bearing.
