I believe my wheel bearing is shot in my front right tire... when i turn to the right its fine but when i turn to the left or go straight it humms really loud like a train or like if i had some serious mud tires on... which i don't have mud tires on... so can someone tell me if for sure its my wheel bearing or not????

 

Sure sounds like the typical symptoms of a wheel bearing failure. From the description, your assessment that it is the passenger (right) side wheel bearing sounds correct.

If it is that bad, you should be able to feel play with the wheel off the ground and your hands and 6 & 12.

 

I'd also jack it up from below the 'A' frame to 'unload' it making the 'play' Kyle spoke of more obvious. JP[:-]

 

thanks for the help i'm gonna take the tire off this week and c how bad the bearing actually is... i just wanted to c what u guys would say it was.. so thanks again

 

Yea, that really sounds like a wheel bearing. Do not heistate to replace those either, reading some of the stories on here scared the crap out of me, and I replaced mine almost instantly after hesitating about 2 weeks. You'll get by, but its a real safety hazard, becareful if you have to drive it.

 

i live in a very snowy climite.. will it b ok to put it into 4wd or should i just leave it in 2wd???

 

well i installed a new hub assembuly this weekend... wow was it a pain in the ***....

 

Did it cure the problem?
