my car is humming...part 2

[roclist@accessconsulting.ca (Jason Adams)]

Could also be alternator bearings, timing belt tensioner, unbalanced tire,
unevenly worn tire, or anything else that spins...

Check your wheel bearings before you just go replace them, major PITA, and
you will need a second car to ferry the bearing housing and bearing to a
machine shop/mechanic for them to press out and then press in the new
bearing. Not really a DIY unless you have a press, IMO
