Humming or droning noise that changes with speed?
A worn wheel bearing is recognised by a droning or humming noise that increases with speed and changes through corners: if the noise gets louder when you steer left and quieter when you steer right, the faulty bearing is almost always on the right-hand side (the loaded side) — and vice versa. With the car on a lift, also check for play by gripping the wheel at 12 and 6 o'clock. When ordering, pay attention to the ABS version: many hubs have a magnetic ring or sensor that differs per version. For spacers: choose the correct bolt pattern and centre bore (e.g. 5x112/66.5 or 5x120/72.6) and use matching, longer bolts.
