Question: I've just had both front axles replaced but I still hear a distinct grumbling noise when I drive it. Are there any thought about this?

Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

distinct grumbling? sounds like wheel bearings. If it starts when you get up to about 40 mph, and changes pitch as you go through turns, its a bearing. Ask me how I know (just had to do them at 69k)
