Bearing noise?

I have a noticeable hum from my left front side which increases with speed. Has anyone ever experienced bad bearings with the G?

Check the hub/bearing assembly for any roughness or gritty feeling. Check the axial end play and hub lateral runout

But yes, they do go bad, it's not uncommon.

On my '04 G the front bearings went out at about 78k miles. Made a humming/whub-whub sound that was worse when turning.

If you put the car up and spin the wheels by hand, you'll know.
