Check and see if Mr. Mechanic tightened the lugs good! They are known to miss one every once in a while. This creates a weird roaring sound as the wheel hobbles around on the lug seats. If the lugs are OK, try switching the LR & LF and see if it persists. If it does, that still points to a bearing. These are "sealed" units on these. While you drive it with a worn out ball joint, over time, the incorrect steering geometry can throw an unwanted wear pattern on a bearing that is virtually silent to you. When the ball joint is replaced, the geometry is corrected but, the wear pattern on the wheel bearing rears it's ugly head and howls. It's kinda like a domino effect.GT</blockquote>
