I have a rumbling sound coming from my left tire and I was told it could be my bearing. Got new tires, got my breaks fixed and the rumbling is still there, or more like rumbling, scratching sound. Just want to know what you think.

Hi there,

this sounds like a wheel bearing, jack up wheel and feel for play in bearing, and spin by hand, you should feel sloopy bearing and hear rumbling if really bad.
