    If you replaced the front, it might be the back, and vice versa. It might even be on the other side. Some cars are notoriously tricky to pinpoint bearing noises. Best thing to do is jack up each wheel and see which one rumbles or whirrs when turned quickly. Having replaced a bearing for free myself because it went on a customer less than a week after fitting, theres also the possibility the new bearing was a dud!

    Might I ask what car? Year engine etc?
