2003 f350 7.3 4wd - so I noticed about 3 - 4 clicks per revolution from my front driver side tire. Nothing too loud but it's there as I can hear more when passing another car or driving along something. When the wheel is jacked up with no weight on it there is no noise.
I was looking up timken bearing but there's a change between the 02/03 with 14x1.5 or 14x2. I'm not sure how to check what I have. Lots of parts were changed on this truck my previous owner and I have a hard time finding the correct parts even after using the Vin number. Was hoping there's a way to clarify myself before ordering. Link below to hear it. I shut the motor off while coasting to hear it better.
I second the loose lug nuts since you had front end work recently. These heavy trucks need them checked regularly, especially if you have alloy rims.
I'm hoping that's it. I'll be relieved. I put the video on FB and all 5 responses were "wheel bearing". I did so much work recently to this truck I just want a break lol. Literally one thing after the next
I don't know if you can tell by this photo if it's a 14x1.5 or 14x2. Not sure what I'm looking for.
I took the wheel off and the spacer, cleaned everything up with a wire wheel brush and put it back on with some copper never sieze.
I did notice the spacer had some guages in it and is no longer nice and flat. Maybe that was causing noise. I put it all back together but I'm still at work so didn't really get to drive it yet to see. I couldn't get any movement or play out of that wheel bearing with or without the wheel on. I attached a bunch of pictures below
One of the clips are set out of the slot and bottom is in. Idk if it makes a difference but not clicking I noticed the spacer isn't and has some wear to it
as for the space looks like you or who ever installed the wheel spacer cut the the studs while the spacer was bolted on an ruined the spacer. If It was my rig I would either remove the spacer or buy new ones

First picture looks like the threads were over-torqued, or there's so much lateral load on them because of the spacers that they are loaded beyond what they were designed to hold.
Second picture. Are those metal shavings? If so, something is definately shifting around. Not something you want to have any business with on a steer tire.
