agreed to sound of wheel bearing on first issue
as far as second issue, my steering strted squeeky then few days later felt like a rumble through steering wheel when turning it. few days later had a warning "steering defective do not drive". it was a 2013 a6 tht was 9 years old and 110k miles and audi replaced it for free since was a factory extended warranty on just the steering rack.
