Everything was covered under warranty,if thats not the case you figure 116.00 ea axle bearing and hub assembly from Tasca part # BT4Z-1104-B,heavy duty grease and 3hrs labor give or take a reasnable quote would be less than 600.00,hope this helps.
Mine is a 2011 with 56k miles. Would it be covered under warranty?

Speak with your service advisor or stop by the dealer early in the morning and explain to them the symptoms your having,best of my knowledge that should be covered for 3yr or 60k coverage,they will most likely have to do some diagnostics first then go from there,try to do it asap,good luck.

I have an appointment in the morning to have the sound looked at by my dealer.  I called them and they said if it is a wheel hub then that is covered under factory warranty (5yr/60K).  So my next question is, I need to replace my 3 bar sensor with factory 2 bar, and reflash back to stock tune.  I guess I need to put the factory air box back on as well right? And should I undo my Blow off valve vent to atmosphere mod?

2 bar, no blow off VAM , stock tune and then 15 minute battery disconnect and some add cruising time before going in. Think the CAI is ok?

ok, so I will change back to 2 bar, then undo my VTA mod, flash back to stock tune, and since the intake is such an easy change, I will just put it back on.  My last question is, what in the world do I do about the god awful noise my exhaust makes?!? The drone is unbearable..... that isn't going to void my warranty is it? I made the mistake of chopping off the two rear mufflers..... stupid....STUPID

Your delete mufflers have nothing to do with your front end and the noise you are reproducing,CAI IS O.K,my dealer had to order the hubs,good luck.

2011 Ford Taurus SHO Problem: http://youtu.be/0Y3srcCca7M

There is the video of the sound it makes. In the video, I am coasting with no exhaust note coming out.... all the noise is from the humming of the wheel. Everyone still think it's the hub assembly?

From that video it sounds like the hub assembly.

From no sound to that is pretty crazy for hub assembly. But the comment about the quick cooling from puddle really tingles my common sense bone the right way.

I know.... we went camping in the mountains for the weekend, so there was some pretty spirited driving coming out of the mountains, and then to do a rapid lane shift and slam into a puddle at 45-50 mph after driving for 2 hours. I'm sure everything was really really hot, and then throwing cold rain water all over everything could cause some pretty nasty stuff.

And when you turn left it doesn't get louder and then right turn would calm the noise. Turns that are actually getting the weight transferred that is. Weird.

There is no change in sound going left or right. The only thing that changes the sound is speed increasing and decreasing

Possibly.... but when driving straight and I let go of the wheel the car doesn't pull to either side. It tracks straight
