2008 Pontiac grand prix rear wheel noise.
So, a few weeks back I hit a fence that damaged my rear wheel, blowing out the tire. I got a new one. I now hear a nose coming from the tire. It's a "wub wub wub" sound that gets faster the faster I drive. I thought maybe it's an unbalanced tire, so I rotated it the tire with the front driver tire to see if the noise followed the tire but it didn't. I'm thinking maybe a wheel bearing? Any other thoughts? How can I test the wheel bearing?

Welcome to the forums James!
The first thing to do is jack it up and spin the offending wheel. Look and listen for any discrepancies. Usually it isn't a big deal to replace the entire hub.
