Bad Wheel Bearing?

Does this sound like a bad wheel bearing to you fellers? It started out just like a loud tire. I have 265/75 r16 KO2’s. Jacked it up and no play.

No.

 

Any ideas?

 

Cannot tell. I hear a lot of wind noise. I’ve had to replace a lot of wheel bearings in my Subarus. The best way to explain it is they make a grinding noise that whines louder as you go faster.

 

Defiantly a grinding type noise that changes with slight steering input. For me it seems to quiet down at higher speeds. Noticeably loud at 30-50.

 

KO2s can cause noise to change with tire load, I had a buddy claim the bearings were noisy that I put in, so we rotated the tires and he ate crow.

It's possible its bearings, but its also likely its tires.

My current truck needs one, I thought it was the all terrains but once the winters on I finally caught it starting to howl.

Tacomas usually dont have wheel bearing play until their basically FUBAR.

 

Defiantly possible. I actually started noticing it after rotating my tires. It seems worse in passenger front but kind of makes sense as the tire with the most wear was rotated to passenger front. It’s the first time the tires were rotated. I might be nuts but it seems better when I have a passenger in the truck. Hahahahha! Damn the OCD

 

Well I’m just gonna give it time. If it’s a wheel bearing, it will get worse. I’m not so sure it’s not the LCA’s howling either as it only seems to happen between 30-50ish. Almost seems to switch sides on me at times. My mechanic buddy told me not to worry about it so that’s what I’m gonna do. He knows my OCD too well as we have fixed many annoying sounds on my truck (front body mounts, rear leaf spring clunk). I will update if my “issues” get worse.
