LB7: wheel bearing ooops!

[REDHOSS02]

i bought two wheel bearings because i went and got my truck aligned and they said the driver side wheel bearing was bad. i figured since i was going to replace one might as well replace both. well i jacked the truck up replaced the upper ball joint and there is no play in the hub at all i tried grabbing the bottom and top and pulling in and out...no moovy! i have almost 260k miles on my truck and the wheelbearings have never been replaced. i dont drive easy either. im really confused!

i guess a call to them is in order. i wonder what gave them that impression.

 

[REDHOSS02]

i just dont see how wheelbearings can last 260k miles with my driving!

They problly are going bad check ur dtc's n look for abs code. I noticed mine was in the dtc when I was clearning linp mode once n it didn't see any diff for three months, and now last two days they blew out squeeling.

did you check with the tire still on? grab the top and bottom of the tire and try to rock it

with no tire on it is hard to tell a little play gets multiplied by the tire

I still have one original wheel bearing at more than 200k of pretty hard driving. No abs codes and no play at all

20 in wheels wit 33's will don it..lol

 

[REDHOSS02]

dont mean to bring up an old thread but, I went ahead and replaced the wheelbearings since I had them and boy did it make a huge difference. I guess i was wrong!

 

[Micheal Tomac]

how does an ABS code indicate wheel bearing trouble?

 

[Vrabel]

the front abs sensors are built into hubs

 

[stacks04]

excessive play can cause an erratic reading. not common but it does happen.
