Wierd hum on the highway
Sounds like it coming from the rear of the car. Anything above 60mph, if you turn to the right at all, you can hear a loud humming, goes in and out. If you're going straight, or turning left, nothing. Could this be a wheel bearing, uneven tire wear?
Whatcha think?

if you can securely raise your rear tires off of the ground and get someone to drive it at 60mph while you listen, without the weight of the car on the bearing you might not hear anything. its worked for me though.
Miketsi (did you have a DSM?),
A simple test to determine if you have bad wheel bearings. It's not 100%, but it's worked for me in the past.
First, get your Z off the ground to check the suspected wheel. If you're not sure which side or tire it's from, you'll have to do this for EACH wheel.
Once you get the wheel off the ground, place your hands on opposite sides of the wheel (12 and 6 o'clock, or 3 or 9) and try to wiggle the wheel. If the wheels has a little play, you may have a bad wheel bearing and the root cause of your issue.
Then again, it could be uneven wear on the tires.
Check....it's easy! Good luck!
