Bearings? I think?

Getting this intense "WhorlWhorl" noise from my front? tires- that seems to be slowly getting worse.

Sounds like bearings right?

Gets more intense when I turn the wheel.

Can anyone help me out with some bearings...?

email me:
pipedream@boomboombass.com

I check that a little more..

Cheers,
E

Sounds like it but try rotating your tires just to be sure.

Things to check that could be causing the sound:
Alignment
Tie rods

If it got worse with new tires, it could also just be the tires. What kind did you get?

But, it could also be bearings. The other ones are just alot easier to check.

Did your old tires have any strange wear characteristics?
