tl;dr : read bolt part.

I recently hit a curb at 50 and destroyed the passenger front wheel. Got that replaced and just had both front wheel bearings replaced today - because, passenger side was giving me slight trembling especially at speed, and driver side because 150k miles and lots of hard right turns so, might as well.

With the new wheel bearings I get humming noise from the impacted wheel at all speeds. Indy shop in Charlotte said everything needs to settle but I don't buy it. Trembling is almost gone, but humming is annoying. I'm thinking maybe the hub was damaged. Don't have time to get the bearing replaced again but is it normal for brand new hub bearing for our cars to make humming noise until "broken in"?

Also, ANYONE know an alignment shop in NC, SC, GA, TN that knows how to do Skunk2 front camber?? Got dirty looks for asking at NTB which Asiaworks said they work with all the time, and promised will be able to do my front camber How hard is it to get a 3ft 3/8" extension with 6mm allen key at the end and adjust the camber?? Need to buy my own damn Hunter and a lift. /rant

Thank you in advance. And I hate this forum. If it wasn't for AZ I would not have kept this car this long .... the more money I spend in repairing/tuning the harder it gets to part with it.

Any update?

1. The guy who BSed me got "terminated as of yesterday" and I was told to bring the car back at my earliest convenience. So I'm guessing I was right that new bearings aren't supposed to make whirring noise

2. I ended up bringing my own tools and teaching the guy at my local Honda dealership how to do Skunk2 front cambers lol.... They were pretty nice about it too. But it only took ~40 minutes from start to finish anyway and I've been going there for four years so I mean. I just need to settle down buy a house and put an alignment rack in the garage.

R u still hearing the humming after the bearing change? Also, did use oem part?

After 600 miles, yes. And yes OEM. Who doesn't??

Mine sharing where u got it from? I'm looking at the Acura part diagram, does the hub come with the bearing already install? Thanks for replying.^

I just got them online. They're under "Front Brake" in any of the OEM Acura parts website. For the front you pull the hub, and remove the knuckle and press the bearing out of knuckle. Rears come with the hub and pretty easy to DIY if you can get the axle nut out. (or so I think looking at the service manual)

But now that I look at Rockauto I could have gotten the ones by SKF for half the price...
