Howling Noise Only @ 40mph
Is this a symptom of bad wheel bearings? It just started happening after I had my suspension bushings installed and new intermediate shaft.

A couple months ago I got stuck in a ditch and was spinning the wheels in the dirt. Could that have misshapen the tire and be causing the noise?

It doesn't necessarily have to... For example: I had a MK3 Jetta that, when the bearing was needing to be replaced, only made the noise between 65-70 mph; other than that it was quiet.

Go to each wheel and hold it by the 12 and 6 o'clock position. Push and pull to check for any play. I'd do this for all wheels because you won't be sure on what wheel is affected. I had bearing noise in one of my cars that sounded like it was coming from the front but it was actually one of my rear wheels that had gone bad.

And I'm having the car checked out as I write this so I'll update when I know more.
