Help, which wheel bearing hub to replace.
Saturday, May 20, 2006 7:50 PM
K. well ones going.. When i turn to the right, the noise goes away, but when i turn to the left, the noise stays. Now, I've figured out which way means which one before, but now im having a brain fart.

Turning to the right puts more pressure on the drivers side and less on passenger side = no noise.

Turning to the left puts more pressure on the passenger side and less on drivers side = still noise.

Y :oops: :oops:

Sounds like pass side. Change the one opposite the way you turn the wheel.

Turn right = noise, change left bearing.
turn left=noise, change rt bearing

Dont buy the cheapest bearing, they dont last. Be sure to torque the nut to specs too.

Jiggling the tires may not help if the damage is still minor. Take the wheel off and spin the hub by hand. They should all have a touch of drag with NO grittyness felt, an all solid feel to the rolling action. If they spin very easily but sound/feel OK, you still have some time, but plan on replacing them in a month or so.
