Default Bad Wheel Bearing

I recently changed my wheel bearings on the S4, and everything seemed fine, but after I put about 200 miles on it, it started to sing at about a 20mph roll, the sound does not seem to be getting worse or better, will this sound likely go away or do I need to get back in there and replace it?

It's gone again.

Doubtful you will get a free replacement.

My guess is something was not torqued to spec, & caused to much stress on the new bearing.
Or you did get a bum bearing, make sure you use a OEM spec one!
