I have a 1999 Elantra with 57000 miles. It recently started to make a
noise from the front driver's side. It gets louder when turning right
and softer when turning left. I put new tires, checked brakes without
any improvement. It looks like I have a wheel bearing problem. Are
front wheel bearings covered by original owner 100,000miles/10years
warranty? If not, how much dealers charge for this job?

Thank you,
Lenja

What country are you in?  You need to call a dealer, they can tell you.

Wheel bearings are part of the drivetrain and are covered under the 5/60
part of the warranty. That means they're probably not covered on your
car. You can figure ~$250 per corner for wheel bearing replacement. The
bearings are cheap, but it's labor intensive to replace them.

In the U.S., the front bearings are covered by the 10/100 powertrain
warranty.

OOPS! I got the powertrain and bumper-to-bumper warrantys confused.
Thanks for correcting me.

I went to a Hyundai dealer and the bearing was replaced. It was $178 in
total and covered by warranty. I paid nothing. Thanks to everyone who
answered my question and especially Hyundaitech.
