Is It Wheel Bearings?... Or Something Else? Options

[redbankz1985]

Hi, I own a '92 Paseo. It is a complete rust bucket. I have only owned it for a few months (bought it from old guy that my in laws grew up with). I usually just drive it locally. Mostly from work to home to grocer and back home. Well, I needed to drive to Wisconsin from Indiana (total mileage approx.: 300 miles) to pick up my son that was visiting family. Upon returning home and in around Chicago (4 hours from home), a knocking began in my front driver side wheel. It was like a rubbing or hitting. At first it was very quiet, but still disturbing. About an hour from home I made a mental note that the noise was louder. Not thinking too much of it I just continued home. Drove my car for about 3 more days and noted that the noise got louder and louder. I finally took off my tire and checked for symptoms of broken wheel bearings. The symptoms checked out. Although upon checking the bearings, they looked fine. I am totally stumped. What could it be? and what else should I be looking for? PLEASE HELP. The last thing that I need is to have something bad happen when I have my 2 year old in the car with me.

I as well have a 92 paseo. although mine is is almost mint condition, it cost me 5 grand to totally fix up. but one thing that does go out is the wheel bearings. and mine looked fine but were bad. you need to check your cv axle to make sure there fine as well. now does the sound happem only when the car is moving or standing still too? if only when moving then check your brakes wheel bearing and cv axle. and anything else attached to that area for broken or bent areas.
