Hi Cheryl. My name is Tim Dorton. If it's still under warranty, take it back. It may be a bad new part or was installed incorrectly. In any case take it in to see if it is the new bearing making noise. An honest shop will warranty it anyway. Here's a video of the replacement of the bearing.https://youtu.be/me9_zfp8ZQ8
