On my way home today I noticed my front left tire wobbling a little bit so I pulled over and torqued down all the lugs start back home and it just kept gettin worse made it home jacked the tire up and picked up on the tire and there was a good inch of movement so my guess is its the wheel bearing anybody know what else it could be ?

 

its a hub bearing seald unit pretty easy to change

 

its a hub bearing sealed unit pretty easy to change

 

Thanks for the quick response I just wanted someone else input on what it could be ohh yea and a little off topic but how do I get my picture under my name I haven't figured out why it isn't there

 

Could be ball joints or wheel bearings

 

You have to be special.

 

If it's just up and down movement it's ball joints.

 

You need to really examine not just listen to us, it will save you money too. It could be wheel bearings or ball joints like listed before. Ball joints require a ball joint press and some patience, wheel bearings require some patience but no special tools. Both of which you need to tear your front end apart for.

while you are in there. u-joints are cheap and look to see if they need replaced.

 

Have someone else move the tire and you look at what is moving. If its the upper or lower part of the C its the ball joint. If its in the center its the wheel baring witch is a hub assembly unfortunately. Can't pull them out and re pack them you have to buy the new assembly. Kinda sucks in that aspect. But not hard to do.

 

And they are sealed assembly(1 piece) they should never look like this when you pull them out lol:

 

You have to set your avatar pic. Found this one out the hard way lol

 

Its not just up and down its side to side too

 

Not your bj's.....ha....wheel bearing most likely!

 

Well how else was i supposed to figure it out smart *****
