Hi. I just got my front wheel bearings replaced by Lexus of Seattle (Ouch, $1400). The bearings were rather vocal about wanting retirement. Everything is so much better now except when slowing down from ~40+MPH. Around the 20-25MPH mark, I start hearing a very similar bearing whine. This only seems to happen when slowing down, not driving. And it doesn't matter if I apply the brakes or not. The service manager said the only noise left is the tires, but I don't think it is. Any ideas of what it could be?

Thanks!

You paid HOW much for new front wheel bearings?

It could be tires, i doubt it. Have you had the tires balanced and checked the air pressure?

I'm taking my car in to get it aligned and balanced sometime next week, though I didn't think it would be related. Just got the car a few weeks ago, and wanted to make sure it's done right.

But yeah, I never did check the air...
