well It's kinda hapening again. I think my wheel bearing is going out or something along thoes lines. Whenever I turn the wheel It sounds like its comming from directly under the car for some reason but if I kinda pull up on the fender the suspension Kinda makes the same noise. Anyone have a clue what's wrong?

If you can simulate the noise while the car is not moving and by pulling on the fender, I would look for a bushing or strut mount possibly. Wheel/axle bearings will show their ugly faces during rotation.

My dad had a bad wheel bearing oh his BMW about two weeks ago, he showed me how to determine if the bearing are bad. He simply jacked the car and spin the tire by hand. When you are spinnig the tire by hand listen close to any noise coming from that wheel. If you hear a noise while spinnig the tire then there is good chance its the wheel bearing. If you don't like this method, take apart the braking system and take the wheel bearing out let someone at a shop look at it.Also he told me when changing the wheel bearing you should change left and right. IF you do this and hear no noise from the wheel while spinnig then it is probably something is your suspension rubbing on a piece of metal.

Hey Steve, that sound is your hub bearing starting to go. It will get worse. I know how that sounds like and it's really annoying. It will get louder and louder. Replace it. It's an easy fix. Just take out the bolts and hammer it out. There you go!
When is the money spending going to stop on this fucking car?!
