How do I tell if a wheel bearing is going out? Front end is making a real light grinding noise and when I slow to about 5 mph it makes a noise that kind of sounds like a rock in my tire. Help please

 

If you offroad at all a rock very may well be causing thenoise. They like to get jammed between the inside of the wheel and the dust shield for the brakes. If thats not the case, lift the side the noise is coming from and try to wiggle the tire. If it moves at all, its a good chance its the wheel bearing.

 

I just got the truck 2 weeks ago. Rust free. I pulled the.tire off and didnt see anything but ill try pullin the brakes apart tonight

 

does the tire wiggle when jacked

 

When you pull the tire off again tonight see if you can wiggle the bearing. Even if its slight, that is probably what you hear.

 

Ok ill try that and let you know. Thanks alot

 

Replaced the wheel bearing last night. Good as new! Thanks guys

 

Good deal!
