Seemingly fast, I've started getting a front end rhythmic bump, that gets louder as I drive faster (hwy speeds). It ALMOST sounds like I have a giant wad of gum on each front tire in the same location. It's NOT the warped rotor issue (had that before). Dealer inspection says I need new front wheel bearings. I'm at 131k, and they quoted me $870 for both front.
Aside from that sounding like way too much money, I'd like to get some opinions if really bearings:
-would BOTH sides go bad at the same time? It doesn't seem like one OR the other.
-would it be sudden? Seemed to appear within days, not over extended time.
-is the repair JUST the bearings, or other parts?
-ways to confirm diagnosis?
-other diagnosis?
Thanks
