    I have a 1999 Elantra with 57000 miles. It recently started to make a
    noise from the front driver's side. It gets louder when turning right
    and softer when turning left. I put new tires, checked brakes without
    any improvement. It looks like I have a wheel bearing problem. Are
    front wheel bearings covered by original owner 100,000miles/10years
    warranty? If not, how much dealers charge for this job?

    Thank you,
    Lenja

    What country are you in? You need to call a dealer, they can tell you.

  3. Wheel bearings are part of the drivetrain and are covered under the 5/60
    part of the warranty. That means they're probably not covered on your
    car. You can figure ~$250 per corner for wheel bearing replacement. The
    bearings are cheap, but it's labor intensive to replace them.

    In the U.S., the front bearings are covered by the 10/100 powertrain
    warranty.

  5. OOPS! I got the powertrain and bumper-to-bumper warrantys confused.
    Thanks for correcting me.

    I went to a Hyundai dealer and the bearing was replaced. It was $178 in
    total and covered by warranty. I paid nothing. Thanks to everyone who
    answered my question and especially Hyundaitech.
