Sounds Like Bearing!
I recently put in some front bearings I bought when I did my rear bearings a few months ago. When starting, I noticed a torn outer boot on the driver side axle (grease everywhere!). Soooo, I replaced both front axles (reman, Napa, $60), installed bearings (I had been hearing whining bearing type noise for some time), rebuilt calipers (seals, booties) and installed high-tech pads (EBC Green Stuff Kevlar front, Akebono ceramic rear).
The whining bearing type noise is still present! Tell me I don't have a bad rear or front bearing so soon! I took all care not to damage hubs or bearings during removal/installation (used HubTamer). Is there another part that might be causing such a sound? LIKE A DRIVESHAFT U-JOINT, OR A DIFFERENTIAL NOISE? Also, I've balanced my front tires twice (NASCAR machine) and still get intermittent steering wheel shimmy? RACK AND PINION? MOTOR MOUNTS? HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLP! THANKS!

It could be tire noise. Switch the front and rear?
