Wheel Bearing Replacement

Yeah I just realize this. I'm a little embarrassed.

 

That may be because I mentioned clicking/clunking can come from CV joints if it's constant while turning, but I didn't mention that it's only applicable to 4wd vehicles (or fwd vehicles).

 

Hey, it's alright man. What made you think you need CV's? Let's figure out the problem.

 

I'm not sure if that's an issue. My thoughts were since im replacing the wheel bearings, i should replace anything else that's needed and in the past I had a small oil leakage coming from the boot area. Also I did hear a small clunk during a hard turn a few weeks ago.

 

Remarkably honest. I would have killed myself trying to play that one off lol. Good luck to you. You have received some great recommendations here. I would definitely start by checking what could be loose.

To add to the wheel bearing conversation mine was also obvious as the wheel had a little in out play when jacked up off the ground. Meaning I could grab the top of the tire at 10 and 2 and wiggle it in and out back and forth towards the fender well and myself.

Loose LCA bolt is one I have heard a few times. Something else it could be is a radiator or body mount support bushing is worn out.

 

if you have a lift on the truck, and maybe with stock shocks(maybe someone can advise if its the same with stock), I had a clunk coming from the bushings at the top of my coilover as they had popped out, so there was play in the coil which caused a decent clunk. I'd give everything down there a super close look over including checking your springs, LCA bolts as former mentioned, the bolt that connects your coil to your lca, tierod, etc.

 

Definitely will take a look under there this weekend. Thx. I'll follow up as well.

 

Finally got it installed. The passenger bearing had some movement so it was good to change. The driver's was still good but I changed it anyway for piece of mind. I also changed the rotors.

There is somewhat improvement but the tires are vibrating at mid speeds. I'm going to look into the tires next.
