    Has any one had a problem running Blue pit will bearings I got one for my truck and it still sounds like a bad Front wheel bearing if I make a left turn it goes away if I go straight or make a right turn it is howling and here are some pic of what the drivers side looks like after I put the new wheel bearing 6462bf1473c5bb7b96f1c5b8d43ed219_c74ba0d0ab3512ff70b6677ec8b56b2a0394b4d6.jpg the Axel don't go all way to seal like the passenger side does.24b5cc447028d0d50800fe29d73cb66b_28e5c1f989d8bb64969543b4ee928e8cfdf47608.jpg here is what the passenger side looks like it goes all away to the seal. And I reminded you about this as a complete assembly I did not install the hub or anything it was already shipped it all I had to do was bolted on

    First month of ownership... This month I'm removing front air dam, and also Rhino lining the bed.
    Did you replace just the wheel bearing or the entire hub assembly? I am unfamiliar with "Blue pit" but a quick Google search looks like they only make the entire replacement hub assembly, correct? I have used both Timkenor and Koyo bearings in the past and can say they appear to be high quality replacements.

    Anyway, to see if it is still the bearing. When jacked up does the wheel spin smoothly or is it a rough spin? That will likely tell you if the bearing is the issue.

    Also of note, it is so easy and cost effective to perform a DIY R&R on your front wheel bearing I recommend doing both sides at the same time while you have it jacked up. Takes me about 1 hour to do a side.

    Was the bearing assembly pressed onto the wheel hub properly? On our hubs you press on the inside races - that is, you don't just lay the bearing flat and press down because that puts excessive pressure on the bearings causing premature wear and possible chipping.
    See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhHbOe5SSZc

    If you don't have the bottom sleeve shown in the video, you can use the inside race of an old bearing - just turn it upside down. That's what I used. For the top sleeve, I used a socket, I think a 30mm.
