    loud humming or growling in front end and can feel vibration in my feet looking for ideas on what it could be?
    The noise starts at about 15 mph and gets higher pitched to the point you can't here it much over 60mph
    The noise does not change if using brakes or if you turn the wheel left or right
    noise is still there drifting down hill in neutral



    Short history about 6 weeks ago changed both front wheel hubs because the driver side hub was bad
    the car ran great for 5 week after hub changes no noise till about 3-4 days ago
    I did jack the car up and see if it looked like there was and play in the new Hubs did not seem to be any
    i even rotated the tires to make sure it was not tire noise

    any ideas would be appreciated

    thanks
    brian

    so the hum is new after the new hubs were installed?

    what brand hubs you use?

    98 Buick Regal GS, F body brakes, Caddy STS wheels, tinted tails L36 bottom end, lightly ported heads, 1.95 roller rockers, headers, gen 5 N* 3.0 pulley, FSIC, 42 lb injectors, a BrandonHall rebuilt trans, DHP tuned and AEM water/Meth injection https://goo.gl/gpV5kW

    Jack the front end up and with the car in neutral, spin each tire by hand while holding the spring. If you feel a vibration, then that hub is bad. It's very possible to get a bad new hub.
