...passenger side wheel. ? I was told that it was more than likely my wheel bearing. I went to get it checked out today and was told that the wheel bearing is fine, but I have a severe rear axle leak. Which is being fixed, but my ? is can the leak cause this noise? The gentleman that called said he wasn't sure and didn't know if it would make the noise stop, which imo, isn't very helpful. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
