Front hub wobble

Good Morning,

Yesterday I was working on my beast, trying to figure out where a hum is coming from, and found something which might be an issue. The front hub wobbles when I spin it without a tire. I haven't been able to feel this inside the vehicle or even in the steering wheel, I just noticed it when I was listening for the noise. If this is normal then I'll keep looking for the culprit.

Thanks,
Jeff

I hope this link works, please let me know if you have trouble viewing it.

Mine do not wobble... sounds like the unit bearing is bad.

Nothing on the link.

There shouldn't be any wobble, might be your bearings going bad.

Unfortunately the bearings aren't replaceable and you need to change the hub like DavenTn suggested.
