Hi on my xj i replaced both front wheel bearings not even a year ago and i have known that my front u-joints are kind of iffy...would bad u-joints make a humming sound around corners like wheel bearings do cause i don't want to do wheel bearings again their so expensive...

 

Wheel bearings would not be affected by turning, just speed, thats u joints.

 

^^X2. joints. replace the shaft seals while their out.

 

ok it just seems weird they dont seem to have any worse of play in them but ever since i replaced my lower control arm bushings have been hearing other noises so slowly working down the list

 

That's normal, new parts put more stress on the worn parts.

 

yeah and if they were creating a significant problem smaller problems aren't seen

 

Correct. Mine did the same thing until all the bushings were new lol.

 

U should really get a move on figuring it out all wheel bearings have a one year replacement. Mine on my 95 went out every 6-8 months. That's because on offset 10" rims and 13.5" LDBs. But I can do them in 20 min flat. Lol.
