    Wheel bearing issue

    Hey guys,
    I drive a 2012 S4 with only 70k and a couple of days ago I was driving my car and started hearing a noise underneath the drivers side when my speed is over 25 km and the faster I go the louder It gets. Also when I turn I hear it a little bit more (sharp turns only). I took it to my mechanic and he drove it and checked it out and believes its my wheel bearing. Im going to get a second opinion as well but just in case it is the wheel bearing, what brands do you guys recommend? My mechanic told me he can get me timken but im not sure if thats good..
    BTW: the noise is sort of like a buzzing noise, kind of like a shitty exhaust add on in a way

    What you're describing sounds exactly like mine did when my front driver's side bearing went.

    I can't help you on the brand, I had my local German shop install whatever they had on hand. Good luck!
