Q: What are some signs of the Wheel bearing going bad?
I took my vehicle to a dealer to have the oil changed and tires rotated one week ago. Since then I have noticed a huge difference in the way it feels when driving. It does not pull to one side or the other, but is shakier in the road. This morning I noticed an occasional noise coming from what I think is the rear passenger side wheel. My father in law's truck had a bad bearing a couple months ago, and we almost wrecked on the interstate because of it. Remembering the noise from that and how it felt riding, makes me think that might be whats wrong with my highlander.
My car has 116000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
