I noticed when I had a front wheel bearing going bad that the sound varied depending on how the suspension was loaded. Sometimes I couldn't hear it at all. Other times I just turned-up the stereo.

The mechanic agrees. I ordered a Timken bearing from autoparts123.com and will have it installed on Thursday. How easy is it to remove the sway bar bushings once the car is up on a lift? I am thinking of asking him to grease up the bushings and re-install them while he has the car up. The reason is that I read one person's experience of having their sway bar shift to one side and cause a rattling noise. Presumably it shifted and stuck.
