Front right whine - seal or bearing?
Like some other posts here, I have a light high pitched whine coming from the wheel bearing area of the front right. You can hear it at 3mph and higher... only with the window open. Very faint. I listened in with the stethoscope with the front end in the air and the wheel slowly turning and it was definitely the bearing area, not the CV joint. But, there doesn't seem to be any play in the bearing.
It is possible that the seal is making that noise? Can the seal be replaced without doing the bearing in a press? Or is it all one operation?
Thanks,
