    A cuple months ago i slid into a curb and had to get control arm tie rod and something else cant rememebr replaced. I got an alignment so she drove straight again.
    But recently after driving on the highway i have realized that i get a mild humming sound like a wheel bearing is going out.
    But when i make a right turn that is a little more than a veer, i get a strong vibration that is almost like going over a rumble strip.
    When i got my 3"DP installed i asked mechanic to take a look at it for me.
    I cant remember what he said verbatim but he said something like my speed sensor bearing needs changed. Ive never heard of this but he made it sound like it needed changed before next inspection.

    ANY IDEA WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT OR WHAT IT COULD BE AND HOW MUCH IT WOULD RUN ME!?!?!?
    I just wish the police loved my car as much as i do 3.5,160 Stat,HAI,ZZP F/R STB, SSAC Headers, Reptile PCM

    Sounds like a wheel bearing to me these cars have the abs sensors built in with the bearing. Also could be a ball joint. jack it upand inspect both

    sounds like the typical wheel bearing to me. At my work (oreillys) they are 88 bucks for the cheaper one. or the better one is like 139 iirc

    You would be suprised how loud those things can get. I would say so, but an easy way to check would be to jack the car up, and put it in neutral and grab the spring, and see if you feel a vibration..if you feel it on one side more than the other replace that bearing.
