Strange noise?

Strange noise?
Own a 98 GT, and have a loud, almost grinding noise coming from front wheel area, driver's side. The front brakes area new, the engine is not using any oil, there are no obivous leaks, and I have no power loss.....Is louder as I turn to the left, can sometimes be a whine......Any suggestions?

$65....that is the cost of a complete front hub. It comes with studs and everything. The bearings are not serviceable. 96-04 all the same. They are all made for ABS set ups too. There is no "non ABS" hubs, just knock the exciter rings off if you don't have ABS.

any way to do a visual inspection and determine if that is the correct fix? I checked today, and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary....the rotor was a little loose, as in small amount of play. I turned the assmebly and did not hear any thing like when I am driving it.
Thanks,
David.

Otherwise, buy the new unit - it will save your some severe hassle (you don't want the bearings to seize on the highway... very unfun.)

So, Adam was right...the bearing in the hub was spun. A quick fix....I ended up at Harbor Freight Tools picking up an electric torque wrench, 240 ft.lbs. of torgue to get the "jesus nut" off the spindle...no way you are going to just muscle it. I don't have the luxury of air tools so had to make do.
Thanks for the advice..
