Re: i think my front wheel bearings r going ?
Hmmm, you should have posted this in the Technical thread.
The vibration usually comes from a bent wheel, unbalanced wheel or a bent hub assembly. The whining most probably is from the wheel bearing or from the tyres (changed them lately?) I dunno where the whining is coming from in your car, is it from the front? Usually the "rear" wheel bearings fail...

Re: i think my front wheel bearings r going ?
sorry about that
hmm id say my wheels r unbalanced then plus it prob needs a good alignment too i got 2 new tires put on 2 of my new rims yeah the sound seems to be coming from the front i can hear it from both pass and drivers sides ,about 3 weeks ago i had to pull over to the side of the road to bent out the pass side brake dust guard thingy as it was siting against the disc (not sure how) and making an almighty screeching sound since then ive cleaned the extra rust build up off the rotors and its been alot smoother |
