I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in and give a big thanks to Tom Earl, aka, ninedee_golf_tdi.
I had been chasing a front end noise going on a year, everybody gave me usual suspects, bought a set wheels, tires, tried rotating them a bunch, balancing them, paid to have new wheel bearings shocks, springs, installed, nothing could make it go away.
I was almost ready to give up, and took it to Tom, and he did a great job of going through what the possible causes could be, and he stuck with it, checking everything again, it ended up being a wheel bearing (which I told him it couldn't be, I had them replaced), and it appears, that maybe the guy I paid to put them in, only did one side, and now it runs smooths as silk! Thanks Again Tom !
