I had this sort of grinding sound, could feel it in the go faster peddle. my wife couldn`t feel it, but every sound or feel I wonder how big is this $ going to cost.? It was sort of like driving on a rough surface feel.

Ended being the L/F wheel bearing, after I replaced the center support/bearing, and thinking it was also the U-joint.
Shaking the wheel there wasn`t any looseness, but when I removed the hub, the inner bearing cage was deformed. pulling the bearing and cleaning it out with brake cleaner the thing was in bad shape. all bearings really loose.

replaced bearing, all better now. also replaced the other side since they had the same miles on them.
