My 2004 Explorer has a vibration in the driver side front wheel area. It starts at about 45 mph. The steering wheel does not shake, but you can feel it and hear a humming noise. It also gets louder when going around a right hand corner. I rotated the tire to the rear, but the vibration is still in the same spot.
Has anyone had this problem or have any ideas what to look for ??

Thanks,

Sounds like a wheel bearing to me

 

yea, probably the hub/ bearing... Take the tire/ wheel off, take the brake disc off, then rotated and see if you can feel it... Also, with wheel off the ground, you might be able to grab the tire and wobble it, or put a 2 x 4 under it and pry up and down and see excess movement.

 

Thanks, I was afraid of that
