During acceleration (from complete stop) my front right wheel makes a humming noise, almost sounding like the wheel bearing is worn. But, I just recently had that wheel bearing changed. Could it be anything else creating that noise, or abnormal wear on the wheel bearing? Or do you think that they installed it incorrectly and damaged it (my wheel bearings are pressed)?
Thanks, I appreciate the help.

Hi there,

These wheel bearings are usually no trouble to install, but if they were pressed in by applying pressure to the inner race, yes they may be damaged (or faulty) I would return to the person who installed them and voice your concerns.
