I think my wheel bearing is going. When I accelerate hard, my car shakes violently, the front driver side wheel shakes erratically left to right, but the tires are brand new, and I'm driving it normally. I have had friends say it's a wheel bearing, but not sure. It's been like this for 2 weeks and I've just been dealing with it because I didn't have any money to fix it until now. So if anyone know how I can confirm it's the wheel bearing that would be great. thanks!

 

Have you jacked it up and inpected the hub to see if there is "play" in the bearing. The also inspect the ball joints and tie rod.

 

Hey, I'm a newbie but I just took my 2010 accord into the dealership today. My front driver's side tire was whining when I reached 50-60 mph. After they inspected it, they determined it was a bad wheel bearing. Not sure if you have similar symptoms.
