bad wheel bearing.
Hi, I just had a left front wheel bearing replaced on my '02 Silhouette. Symptoms that the part needed to be replaced include: --Whirring noise coming from faulty bearing while driving --Noise increases when turning steering wheel to opposite side of bad bearing (e.g., moving wheel to right with a bad left bearing) --No noise while vehicle is stopped Parts could cost up to $250 depending where it's purchased and who manufactured it. Labor is about 2 hours since wheel and disk brakes have to be removed and re-installed. Hope this helps

If wheel bearing sometimes you can hear it if turn wheel hard R or L & if so whatever way you turn wheel is the side that is bad. If this is so, & high miles replace BOTH wheel bearings
