    Don't forget, the title of the thread indicates a warning that only appears at 70+ mph.

    The car can detect a bad speed sensor at lower speeds. (The sensor test, which the repair manual has you do as the last step of replacing a bearing hub, only requires driving about 28 mph, and of course if whoever replaced the hub followed the procedure, that should have been done and passed.)

    The usual explanation has already been mentioned upthread: the tires have slightly different circumference, whether because some are newer than others, inflation pressures too different, whatever.

    Having somebody (other than the driver) watch the wheel rpm readings at 70+ mph would probably show which ones are spinning faster/slower and by how much.
