HI, I've got an '05 4X4 sclb (7 lugger) that has developed a vibration while turning left. While on the highway even a small movement of the steering wheel brings on the vibration. I also have a lot of extra brake dust on the front right rim. I'm thinking something is worn but I'm not sure what. What do you guys think it is?

 

Wheel bearing?

 

jack up the front with jack under the A frame and lift tires 2 inches off the ground. stick a 4 ft 2 x 4 edge under the tire and pry up and down to see if the tire wiggles on the spindle. Rotate the tire to see if it grinds.... sometimes you have to remove the brake caliper to get a better "feel" if things are in the first stage of failure.

 

thanks, that sounds like a plan, I'll let you know what I find.

 

Glad I poked around the site tonight because I thought I had a stuck caliper but after reading this I am almost certain it is the wheel bearings.

 

Ya, sorry I never updated this. It was the Hub assembly (bearings). Easy DIY project.
