I have a wheel bearing going out in the Oldsmobile. There is no play in any of the bearings, and I can't get them to makes noise when jacked up. So I'm going by ear.
When traveling and turning left the noise gets louder. According to the old adage, turn one way and the noise worsens it's the opposite side. So that would mean that the bad bearing is on the right.
I've also heard that if it does react to steering that it means it is one of the bearings in the front.
Has anyone proved these things to be true? Is there a better way to pinpoint other then buying a bearing and guessing?
