I have a 2001 ford focus, when i drive it it makes a rumbling noise from the drivers side front wheel especially when i drive about 50mph or over. I have had the hub replaced and its not the wheel bearings neither, don't think its the cv joint cause there.

Was at a mechanic yesterday getting the hub replaced and the noise is still there.

Nice site :-) I really like it

Did you check both front wheel bearings?It sounds like a bad wheel bearing sometimes its hard to tell wbich side is noisey.Thats why i always check both sides to make sure i replace the correct side and if there both bad i will know.
