Front left side is making a severe grinding noise, I checked the brakes they're fine and the noise does not increase when turning. It just gets louder the faster I go. It's my wife's car and she said it's been going on for a couple of months. She failed to mention it to me.

Thank you for your help.

Sounds like a bad wheel bearing have you checked them yet?

I thought that might be it, I'll have is checked to tomorrow, can you a suggest a reasonable fee for labor on replacement and should I do both sides, even though only one side is making the noise?

I would only change the side that is noise.If you give me your zip code I can get you a fair price for repair in your area.

Thank you Saturntech9, it was the wheel bearing, it cost me $100 labor, I had a local guy come to my house and do it, I'm sure a dealership would have charged a few hundred. Thank you again for your replies, have a great day.
