The left front wheel has a grinding / growling noise coming from it. At certain speeds there is also a slight vibration. This has been happening for over a year, but it has recently gotten worse and I think I need to get this looked at soon. Any ideas on what the problem is? Wheel bearings maybe? I'm not sure.

If it has nothing to do with the brakes, chances are it is a wheel bearing.
