Do you need to hear the noise in order for the wheel bearing to be replaced? Had my vehicle serviced for this approx 4 months ago and the noise has come back. But the noise doen't happen all the time? When I accelorate past 65 mph I hear a rumbling noise and the car pulls to the left. Was told by the dealer they can't help me until they can hear the problem!!

  Unfortunately no one can accurately diagnose a noise related problem until the noise can be heard. This is the case with most intermittent problems.
  I bet you don't want them to replace parts unnecessarily.
