RE: Bad front bearing?
Yes its time right now to change it..and I mean right now. Don't continue to run the engine if it is making this noise. Front and rear bearings are the normal change out. Its really rare thata front bearing goes...usually its the rear bearing.
But if its making this noise it will be coming apart soon. Very soon If it has not already.
The bearings need to be changed.
