Default Audi A4 Wheel Bearing HELP!

Hello everyone,

I need help determining which wheel bearing needs to be replaced. OK here we go, the noise is consistent when I am driving forward with wheel being in the middle. Now when I make a left hand turn the noise WORSENS(grinding noise, hummining noise worse) and then when I make a right hand turn it seems to have almost gone away until the steering wheel is back straight to its normal position. I am thinking the rear passenger but have no idea since it is hard to determine while driving. Thanks for your time. PLEASE HELP!

its definitely on the passenger side, i just had my passenger rear replaced last week, when i turned right the sound would go away. It will be either the front or the back passenger side. usually tire shops will tell you which one it is for free.

How much did it cost for you to get yours fixed? Did you get it done @ a tire shop?
