For the past month or so I've been hearing a hum/growl coming from the front drivers side wheel and the pitch of the noise changes when I turn. I rotated my
tires today and couldn't feel any play. I did some research and it appears that the wheel bearing is bad. I'm thinking of buying a new hub assembly from a local
auto parts store, question is will I be able to remove the hub assembly myself? Are there special tools involved? I did the hubs on my girlfriends intrepid by
following this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-ZjbXoHvV0. Are Elantras similar? If not can someone point me to a tutorial on how to do it? Thanks.

Well if you hear it loud is the sound coming loud of the driver side or the passenger put your Windows down n try to figure it or lift you vehicle up on a jack & then rock wheel side to side
