Hey guys, on my way to work this morning my truck started humming loudly. It's been humming off and on lightly for the past few months but today it was loudy and vibrating the truck. When I would turn my front wheels it would stop, then start humming again when I go straight. It is prob one of my wheel bearings but I just wanna hear what you guys think? Thanks

 

2wd.. 4wd

 

2005 f150 4x4 fx4. If it is my wheel bearing how can I inspect it if it is a sealed hub assembly? Thanks

 

Jack up the front end and see if your wheel shakes back and forth...if so ...you need new ones.

 

Also, it will be a few days until I can get the part. Would it be okay to drive on it for the next 3 days or so?

 

Might be OK then again the whole wheel assembly might seize up and break off. No way to tell without a proper inspection. My feeling is better safe than sorry, I've seen what can happen when a hub comes off a vehicle when driving.

My 2 cents

 

Check wheel bearing play.. if any play... fix it then.. or park it

 

Yea I waited for a while to fix one of mine and the day it came in the mail I lost brakes completely because the abs sensor got chewed up. It was really dangetous.
I'd its making any noise I wouldst risk it
