| I started hearing a humming, vibration noise coming from my wheels in november 2007. i took it into the dealership and they replaced the wheel bearings on the r/f. this happened again and again... january 2008 - l/f wheel bearings replaced. june 2008 - r/f wheel bearings replaced. march 2009 - r/f wheel bearings replaced. the noise gets worse at higher speeds and makes me very concerned for my safety. *tr | |||
