Wheel Bearing/Hub?

2008, 169k miles, 6 in lift with 37s. Great truck. I've already done the roller bearing carrier in the front diff. Everything was smooth after that. Couple thousand miles ago, I get a loud growl from about 45-70. Using 4WD doesn't make it go away. Rotated the tires, no change. When I'm turning right the noise temporarily goes away. Hitting a small bump will make it go away. Jacked up the front end, no play in either of the wheels....solid. However, it does seem like the driver side wheel/tire may drag a bit more than the other side when I spin them by hand. I'm thinking Wheel bearing (shoulda done while I was in there with the roller bearing). Anyway, these seem to be the best. https://www.ebay.com/itm/164409484004 I only need one and it comes in pairs. Anyone need a wheel bearing/hub and I'd sell the other one to you.

 

Do keep in mind that the right side completely disconnects from the diff (dog style gear) while the left side is spinning two side gears and the spiders so, it will have more drag.

 

That 'feels' about right. The drag wasn't considerable on the driver side. So perhaps this is NOT a wheel bearing?

 

Since the noise goes away with a slight turn, it sounds like it is the bearing. I did mine the old school way with a shop press, but that seller on Ebay is the way to go for sure.

 

Great! Thanks!

 

Just my opinion, but I recommend these:

Andy Taylor (company owner) is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He called me after I messaged him when I was having questions while installing, and he spent a couple hours on the phone with me. That kind of service is worth the money to me alone. It also happens to be a great product! Lol

Anyways, mine feel great since the install, which was about 10,000 miles ago.

 

Thanks for the option!
