O.k. my car(just bought) has been making a noise that sounds like wheel bearings. Kinda goes along with the speed of the wheels. The problem is the noise is still coming from the front end after Ive replaced the brake rotors, wheel bearings, brake pads, and tires.

Stock and boring for now

Not as noisy as my rear end!
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Honestly though, It does sound like wheel bearings if its going with the speed and remains constant at all times. Jack your car up and see if it still does it. Or better yet, check and see if your spindle rod (shaft, whatever) is bent, I had that problem.

I cant hear it when its jacked up and I just spin the wheel by hand. It spins freely and sounds normal. I havent had the alignment checked yet but I plan to do that this coming week. How did you find out you had a bent spindle? Im assuming it would'nt align but unless it was bent really badly how did you narrow it down to that?

See if it makes the noise any worse when you turn the wheels sharply one way or the other at about 30 mph. If you can hear the noise lessen when you turn the wheel one way or the other.....it's the opposite side.
By doing this you are taking the load off of one side at a time.

Another possibility is that your toe in is way off. That would make more of a roaring noise than a grinding or whirring noise. Good luck!

Its kind of a roaring noise...lol, its hard to describe noises online. Toe in, huh? The alignment will take care of that if that's what it is. *crosses fingers*
