Default 98 Venge Question

Hey guys, don't really see where to post general questions so I'll stick it in here. If this is a bad spot, Mods, please direct me to a more suitable location.
Just bought a 98 venge ES, love the look of it, love the interior, installed a sony bluetooth head unit and took it for a spin. While I was driving it home I noticed some very annoying road noise. Sounded like it was coming from the rear. I assumed it was one or both of the rear bearings. Installed new hubs, $69 each, and guess what.... NOT the bearings. Is it just a noisy car and I'll have to deal with it? Is it the factory style low pro tires? Any insight would be appreciated.

Are you sure it's the rear hub and not he front hubs ??
Also examine the tires for camber wear on the rear many times the noise is tire related try to rotate them and see if the noise follows

Default Thanks for your reply

No wear, Followed behind the car to see how it sat before I bought it. Rotated the tires already and I have the service records from the previous owner that show the fronts were replaced last year. Love the car, don't care how much work I have to put into it. Bought it with a bad rod rap because I HAD to have it. Plan to swap out the engine next week with a sweet sounding used one with 40k on it. My engine has 124k. Looked at your gallery... awesome car.
