Any suggestions?

I took the front wheel bearing housing assembly down to Saturn
yesterday morning and had them put in a new bearing......At least, I
hope they installed a new one at a cost of $92 for bearing and labor.
I don't think I'll be going back there any time soon if Ican help it.
I should have asked for the old bearing back, but did not think about
it at the time.
The reason I thought it was a wheel bearing is that I had the right
front jacked up with the wheel, rotor and caliper removed. There was
nothing below the strut but the bearing housing in place; the engine
running in low gear and the axle turning, the sound was coming from
the housing or at least it sounded like it. Now, it could be that the
two piece housing has something that has an interference between the
inner and outer. When I run into something like this, I think the
next plan of attack will be to take longer and longer trips to see if
something fails or goes away. Those kinds of sounds are not nice to
hear and don't give you a warm cozy feeling; just like going to the
Saturn deale herer. I don't think the cv joint would make that kind
of sound, but could be wrong. Anyone have an ideas on where the noise
is coming from.
TIA,
MR

 

What kind of noise do you hear? I just had a knocking noise fixed on my car,
could only hear it at low speeds, turned out to be the struts.

 

Not a knocking sound; more of a screeching like a pad dragging at low
speed and a whistle at high speeds. Not the pads or brakes making the
noise though, since I had them off with the wheel turning and the
noise was still there.
