potential wheel bearing issue?
hello everyone. first time member here. my 97 E320 is making a pulsating noise at slow speed after I make a turn. I have heard this after making right and left turns. No noise when I am going straight and after start up. recently I replace the brake light switch as I was getting the ABS ETS message on the dash. Also did an oil change and fixed flat tire on front passenger side. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Thank you Plutoe for responding. I appreciate you. I just jack to lift front wheels one at a time and rocked it on 9 and 3 & 12 and 6 position - yes there is a slight movement (I can hear a click/knocking) on both wheels. front right has more than the left. Thanks again.

assuming it is a bad wheel bearing. car has 160000 plus miles. I decided to get it out. I managed to get the hub out, however, I scored in inside of the hub accidently where the race seats. see photo below. do you all recommend using the same hub or get a new one. I hope not. Thanks everyone.

hello everyone, while I was rotors back, I cracked the rotor where the screw attaches to the hub. Does this mean I have to replace both front rotors or just this one. Also, I have factory rotors on the vehicle currently that is only 3 years old. Should I stick to factory rotors or do you all have any recommendation for an aftermarket as I have to replace both front ones. Thanks.
