bearing replacement

Hey guys

I have a 70 f 100 that have a vibration i think might be the bearings and was just wondering how hard it would be to change the bearings and what it involved. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

All depends on which bearings.

I would be looking at your U-joints. They are a common cause of vibration. Wheel bearings usually squeal or lock up or casue a grumbling you will feel in the wheel.

If you can wiggle your wheel when it is off the ground it is most likely a wheel bearing. Easy fix.... it would help to know if is a 4x4 or 4x2.
Also check the wheels to see if you lost a weight or have them balanced that it is the most often cause of vibration.
When I had U-joint problems I never noticed till the drive shaft went flying.

I just had the tires balanced. that was my first thought, but it is still there. It is a 2 wheel drive. I was just hoping not to have to replace all the u joints cause i have the 2 peice drive shaft and that is a pain in the butt. Plus the truck sat for 3 years before i got it and put the engine in. so may be ill check it all. Thanks guys.
