We have a 1996 stratus w/ a 2.4 . There is a loud roaring sound when we drive it, it shakes. The noise gets louder when we turn to the left but goes away when we turn a hard right. We replaced the passenger side wheel bearing last february. My hubby thinks it is the half shaft. He has bought one and the tools needed to replace it and plans on doing it tomorrow. He bought the driver side one. Does this sound like a half shaft problem? How hard is it to change one? Any pointers would be appreciated. We would take it in but we were quoted at least $500 and the car would be gone for a week so we passed.

 

Sounds like a wheel bearing rather than a drive axle
