had my wheel bearing replaced today on my 07 Ve ss after 75000km. I am less than impressed. I have no idea where or who has made this bearing but im tipping its not a Timken or skf bearing. The raceway has bad pitting on it and a rather large divot. Apart from the 300 i shelled out to have it fixed, im also dissapointed that i had to buy the same crap quality bearing directly from holden as there is no after market bearings for this model at this time. So if anyone experiences a humming noise throughout there car have someone check tyres and wheel bearings. If you suspect a wheel bearing, drive your car at 100km and swirve left and right. When i swirved to the right the noise was gone temporarily. That apparantly is due to the reduced load on that wheel bearing..This is a good diagnostic tool however make sure there are no cops around. cheers
