So i am 99.99% sure i have a hub on my 2g that needs replacing because i heard the same rubbing type of sound prior to replacing my front left and rear right last week...kind of shitty it wasnt noticed to need replacing at the same time as my other 2 but i am hoping you can help me figure out if it is my front right or rear left one making sounds now...When driving i hear the rubbing getting worse when i turn right and practically non-existent when i turn to the left

Did a quick google with no concrete evidence to help me figure it out

Thanks in advance

If it is a wheel bearing, and it goes away turning left, but gets louder turning right, it's on the right-hand side.

Depends... could just be a dust shield rubbing the rotor if you still them on your car. But as Jeremy stated a wheel bearing usually gets less audible when it is unloaded but not always. The best is to check them all individually.

What would you mean by checking Steph? The wiggle test for play with the car in the air? Also notice vibration at higher speeds (60+)

Drive the car in the air put a stethoscope on the back of each knuckle and listen. Wiggle test can work aswell. If you dont have a stethoscope use a big screw driver in your ear and on the knuckle. If your wheel bearing is causing a vibration you will find a whole phucking lot of play with the wiggle test.

Pretty sure Ziggy carries OEM hubs, I got mine from him a few years back.

I personally wouldn't go aftermarket for bearings.
