    really weird sound at speed.

    at first i thought it was just rust on the rotors, but this sound is becoming very disconcerting.

    after doing a complete brake overhaul, my car makes this really loud howling/rolling sound. i'm not sure if it's my wheel bearings, an unbalanced tire or pads scuffing the rotors... it sounds the same whether im accelerating, cruising or braking. the weird thing is i don't get any sort of play in the steering and there isn't any sort of vibrations that i'm aware of. the car did sit for awhile during the winter months. could it be that my wheel bearings are starting to go bad?

    does the sound get louder or more pronounced when taking a corner?
