New owner of 1999 Altima needs help troubleshooting noise while
driving. As speed increases above 10mph, increasing amounts of road
noise (low level noise) is heard inside car. No vibration associated
with noise. Have jacked up car in garage, only smooth engine nose is
heard from outside. Have had tires replaced, front end alignment
performed, no difference. How to troubleshoot if front wheel bearings
need replacement? Have others experienced the same? Is this the nature
of the earlier model of Altimas?

ok mine has it also its normal but altima came originally with Bridgestone &
my dealer told me to go with them otherwise I can live with it. If its the
bearings you hear a loud wobbly sound.
