Wheel Bearing?
Ok guys when i am heading around a left hand corner i get a growling groan sound and when going back strait it kinda goes away but doesn't get loud making right corners. So does that sound like a wheel bearing?

The reason for asking is that I've noticed mine making a noise that might be described as a growl, but it can be in either direction. Then I noticed that it only happens at low speed and on certain asphault surfaces with the wheels turned to near lock. Figured it was due to the aggressive alignment and limited slip rear causing some tire scrub.
Just food for thought.

Just out of curiosity, how fast were you going and did you notice the surface you were on?

Only when going 50+mph around left corners and straight ahead the noise goes away but is kinda still there. It cant be the tranny or diff since i put a new diff and tranny in and did it before i swapped also.

I had this too from my rear end. I changed out the hubs which did not fix it. So then I replaced the differential at extreme cost for the brand new one.. did not fix it. I knew there was some cupping on the tires which was caused by a bad alignment job. I replaced the tires...noise gone! Seriously, I could have sworn it was something mechanical but it was the rubber only.
