Glad to hear you got it fixed!

I just swapped my winters for my summers. The woo-woo noise has gone. I guess it was either the tire or rim. Or maybe it was because the idiots at my dealership put my uni-directional snow tires on the wrong side of the car!

I just had my wheel bearing only replaced. You can do that if you haven't been driving too long on the bad bearing. If you have, then the hub assembly needs replaced.
