Last time you packed them bearings?
Does the sound change with brakes applied? Barely Applied?
Could be your brakes a-squeakin'
Raise that wheel, Grab tire at 6 and 12 O'clock, push--pull alternating--then do 3 and 9.
Is there SLOP?(I do not mean in the steering components)
I mean in the Center (spindle/ bearing location)...There should be NONE.
The wheel should turn FIRM w/ No Wobble....Wobble being: that little Floppiness when you are "Man Handling" the Clock positions. You will "Feel" it more than hear it
You gonna attempt the repair yourself?
