Default What's this noise

I filmed a little video of my car after a recent wheel bearing change

It was the front driver side bearing you changed?

Abs light is on and no speedo point to that wheel. When the noise comes were you braking? It sounds like the pads rubbing unevenly. I get a noise similar to that usually just before the pads and disks need changing but usually from the rear as they seem to corrode more than the fronts.

As for the abs, is the sensor wiring intact. The wires are so flimsy they snap easily if youve been doing any work in that area.

When you said wheel bearing change, what was involved? Did you swap a complete hub, or just replace the bearing in your old hub.

Just change the wheel bearing. Wish I swapped the hub over now

It still sounds like a brakes related noise to me, like what you get when the pads are getting low. Are the caliper bolts tight?

As for the abs light, was it on before you changed the bearing?

Could you have damaged the sensor during the process? I presume you removed it before pressing the bearing out, and they can be very tight and stuck in, it might have broken when you pressed the sensor out
