Untill the weather clears and i get get outside and have a good look, i feel i may have a front wheel bearing going, mine is a 2002 facelift 9-5 so its a complete hub change which dont come in cheap. The car has done 113k, any other owner of a facelift had to change a front bearing at this sort of age/milage?

Have you checked the rear tyres for wear? sometimes they wear unevenly on the insides which can make a sound like a front wheel bearing going - I have had this with mine.

Had that on my last Aero, rear tyres are not scalloped at all, which leads me to think its bearings. Anyway, will check it out on Saturday.

I think I've been lucky. 205k and still on originals. They're going to fail tomorrow now......

At that rate mine should last another 10 years as it's only on 118k :D
