SOURCE: Alero loud humming/roaring sound coming from front end.
That's indicative of a wheel bearing, which is why you were told to change that out. However, it's also possible that the carrier bearings in the differential (where the drive axles attach) have gone bad. That happened to me on my 300ZX several years ago, and I had to replace the diff bearings. I would have them checked out somewhere other than a dealer (you'll probably get a better price from an independent shop).
As a sidenote, to be sure it wasn't a wheel bearing, if you hear it quiet down in a turn one way but get louder in a turn the opposite way, it's likely the wheel bearing. If you turn left at speed and it gets louder, then it's the right bearing (since you're loading up that side of the car). If it gets quieter in a right turn, it's the right side (you're unloading that side of the car and not putting as much weight on it, so it doesn't drag as badly). See if you get that symptom just to be sure that the wrong side front wheel bearing wasn't changed.
SOURCE: Front end noise
other possible causes of your noise are ball joints, shocks, brake components. What type of noise? Does it change with speed? Over a certain type of bump? While braking, or not? For about an hours labour your dealer should be able to pinpiont your problem and estimate the repair.
SOURCE: Noise coming from rear hub after replacing various fluids
did u use honda fluid and honda friction modifier if not diff will make funny noises worse when turning at a slower pace
SOURCE: Humming in the right front HUB area-I had the Hub
sounds like the fitter didnt repack everything with grease ,just assumed it was lubricated with oil from the diff
SOURCE: Is it hard to replace the front wheel bearing hub
Its a big pain. The hub is rusted on tight and has to be beaten off with a mini sledge. Go to your local AP store and look it up in a repair manual to see what you are in for.
