So....   

Wife's car has been making a "wub wub" noise. I don't ride in it often but drove it the other day and it just seems noisy. Odyssey is probably quiet in comparison, but it just sounded really LOUD (road noise, not engine).  I got it on a lift and wiggled all the wheels, none seem to have obvious play in them. It's 10yrs old an almost 90k miles. Should I be concerned with wheel bearings??

Changed the oil, rotated the tires.
Cheap tires, I didn't realize they're supposed to be unidirectional. The left front and right rear are now spinning against the "direction of rotation" arrows. But the tires don't look all that high-tech to begin with. The tread almost looks like it's uni-directional. (the Spin isn't letting me post the pic.)
Thoughts?

AND, both axle inside CV boots are torn. One has a tiny rip and a tiny amount of grease on the frame around it, the other is torn about 1/8 of the way around and quite a mess. I'll have to price it out (parts and me doing it vs. a shop doing the job) but I don't feel like banging on the axles.

Wub wub tires?

Tires that are starting to cup will make noises like that.  You frequently get a lot of tire noise right after you rotate them.  You're certainly at a mileage that, if they haven't been changed yet, the wheel bearings could be on their way out.

Noise was before rotation..

I priced axles, ~$70 apiece on autozone, it looks like it's something I *can* do, not that I want to. All the youtube videos show taking the strut off the knuckle, but comments always say to just pop the swaybar off the bottom and pry the hub off the axle.  (that's how I did my first ever repair job, on the SHO in 2002... but I messed up the spline on the axle and wasted 30min hand-filing it to get it all back together..)

Replaced axles Friday. $65 + $45 plus $16 shop fees plus time. Autozone has a real rewards program, spend $20+ 5x, get a $20 credit.

Did it fix it?

Sounds like bad bearings to me!

[AutobahnSHO]

It's pulling a little to the right, I'll get an alignment and ask them about bearings. (I forgot to check the rears when I had it up... )

[AutobahnSHO]

Car isn't pulling at all, watching tires and they're not wearing.

We're getting some clunks when hitting bumps during cornering that weren't there before. Sway bar bushings or something??

Sway bar bushings or endlinks. Could just be a loose bolt.

I remember my Monte had a nice clunk over bumps...turns out the right (rear) sway bar mount rusted off so the thing was just slappin around.  So they just took the sway bar off.
