My 02 GT has been out of winter storage now for a month or so and has developed a noise I'm told is a front wheel bearing. It has all the hallmarks of it, especially the increased intensity when cornering (worst on right turns in my case...)
Thing is, the car is stored all winter, rarely driven in the rain and has only 30,000 miles or so on it. This can't be normal, can it? The shop said they took the cap off and found water in there. I can't think of where this came from..unless maybe the undercar wash at the local touch-free place somehow jets water past the seals...
30K miles seems awfully low for a bearing replacement, even on a car like this with a hulking fat iron V8 under the hood. Thoughts?
