2004 Murano with 50,000 mi. It makes a warping sound(sorta like wah, wah, wah,). The noise isn't loud when going straight and is not there when steering left, but is loudest when steering right. I thought bad rotors. Went to a mechanic and we took it for a ride. Mechanic did hear the sound. He swerved the car left then right a few times and he noticed the sound being louder when steering right. He felt that it was bad hub bearings. Back at the garage, raising the car while another mechanic sat inside. We were both under the car while the guy in the car pressed the gas with the car in Drive. The guy with me put a long screw driver against the left hub bearing wall and listened then did it to the right. He had me do the same. The sound in the left hub bearing sounded like a running faucet, while the sound on the right hub bearing was louder, also like a faucet but at full pressure. Does this all sound like a bad hub bearing? And what causes bad hub bearings?
