typical wheel bearing lifespan?

Drove on mine making noise for over 5k miles

 

New bearing didn’t fix it

 

Mechanic didn’t ever here anything, but I don’t hear it till about 65. He put a stethoscope all around and never heard anything on all 4 wheels. But what I’m feeling and hearing is typical of a wheel bearing. And unweighting the right side is what makes it stop... pointing to the right side bearing. We changed it anyway.. to no avail

 

even bad ones are very quiet on these trucks for some reason :/

 

When is the last time you had a GOOD balance and alignment?

I run big aggressive tires and wheels on my 07. I though my bearings were bad from symptoms I was sure of. Took it to a different shop than I normally did (They had much better equipment). Turns out my alignment was garbage from the previous shop and my wheels and tires were way far off of balance from DTD.

 

Gotcha. Well the only thing to do now is start cheap to expensive. You went the opposite way though lol.

Best of luck man. Noises and vibes are hard to fix.

 

well, yes and no. I been dealing with balance issues.. Decided to get an alignment, right side was off a good bit.. printout showed straight.. After that, this vibe showed up. didn't know what else it would be considering I turn right, and it goes away. none of it makes any sense

 

Have you tried a different shop? Some use lasers. Some use ground measuring. I or anyone on here cannot suggest any real action without feeling it unfortunately.most shops won't drive your truck over a certain mph (laws and stuff). That's why I went to a different one next to a interstate and requested that they did it.
