front right wheel humming sound

cruser761 · 12-21-2011, 10:25 PM

this sounds hums in and out about..hum..humm.. 30 mps and then goes away. Is this a wheel hub bearing? I have a sport trac 4x4 2002. Thanks. This site is awesome.

Yes probably. It will get louder as you drive on it more.

You should have changed it yourself, it's really not hard. If you can change your brakes you can change the hub.
