those of you who had a wheel bearing go on an S4, what are the signs?What kind of noise do they make

TTS_4_to_A6

It sounds like the brake rotor is warped and the pad is gently grazing it. When you press the brake the sound goes away, but it can get pretty loud at slower speeds. Our bearings are compression fittings and run about 750 to replace one (i think thats what i paid after grazing a curb)

pads sound like they are grazing, but dealer claims all my wheels do this...car is sitting there right now, i told him to look into the bearings but he says its ok. OTS is making a suprise visit today so he said he'll have them take a look at it . On the other hand they did fix the headliner/sunroof squeek!

or it could be a low pitched "whirrrrrr"

I had one go...it is initially a rubbing noise that you hear when you turn the wheel left or right

Hmm......I noticed something similar since I took my car in for it's last service.

Wait, did you say $750 for one?

My sign was the 1/4" wobble in the wheel when I had the car on a jack.
