[DML] Re: Bad bearing or...? (Tire Roar)

["erikgeerdink" <erikgeerdink@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have Yoko's on my car.  When I first had them put on there was a 
slight hum when I turned left at speeds over 25.  Recently I took a 
long trip up north to Traverse City, MI and when I returned I noticed 
that the hum was now a roar coming from the back.  VERY loud.  I 
don't think my bearings have ever been replaced, so I'm assuming 
thats the problem.  The CV Joints were replaced about 4 years ago 
when I first got the car.  Tire tread looks ok, but I'll have to 
verify when I take the wheels off.
