fixed bearing but not noise?
 
Front left. Had a 'hum' that increased in speed, independent of engine speed. Slightly audible going straight, much louder when left side is loaded by ponderously swerving to the right. So....

Replaced inner/outer bearings/seal, with MB grease. Did not see any marks on the races.

Noise is the same! [grrrr] Any ideas? The noise changes very slightly if I brake, but not dramatically. But could it be a brake prob? Guess I could rotate the tires too.

{past history-replaced front bearing about 5000 miles ago at a garage in a small town on a road trip. Did not see mechanic back off on the nut, so 'assumed' that this was the bearing issue. I had previously rotated tires before THAT repair. }
thanks in advance....

It might just be tire noise. If the spare is different, run it for a bit and see if there’s any change, or run on different road surfaces. If it’s the break or bearing, you should hear something if you just raise the car and spin the wheel.
