Does this sound like a bad wheel bearing?

I’m suspicious that my 2008 Saturn Vue has a bad rear wheel bearing. I took a short video of the sound. The sound definitely varies with speed. Let me know what you think.

I’m just checking other things to see why I had cupping in the first place. will be inspecting tires often![/quote]

90% of the time it is a tire issue. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had people replace wheel bearings when all they needed was tires.

One last thing on tires. Do your research and get the best tires you can get. Otherwise, you may regret it.

Thanks for the advice. You were correct! Also I got nice Michelin’s for my car, primacy mxmv4. OEM was something similar.
