    Video is private.

    But from the sounds on your problem, the ABS light is on.

    And on many cars when the ABS light is on, the magnasteer powering steering system shuts off, thus causing harder steering and will not feel right.

    So either a wheel bearing is bad tripping the ABS light or maybe a wiring issue to one of the hubs.

    Thanks I forgot to unlock, I was thinking it was the hub bearings I can feel every little bump in the road and I also hear grinding when turning corners

    I'd be guessing at what you are asking. You ask about asking for help if anyone knows what you are talking about and then really don't describe anything. More info will get you better info/responses.

    Its probably your EBCM dieing. I would scan for codes first with a scanner that can read ABS codes. If it has codes other than a wheel bearing code its probably your EBCM dieing. Mines dieing too and it definitelly sucks not having magnasteer. You can have these dudes:CHEAP Bosch 5.3 ABS REPAIR VW Passat Audi A4 A6 A8 S4 or Module Masters rebuild/repair/upgrade it or pay a bajillian dollars at the dealership for a new one.
    You can drive without it you'll just lose exactly what you're losing right now (abs,tcs,magnasteer).
