Hub bearings
How do you know when the front hub bearings are bad ? Squeaking? Vibration ? Both? My truck squeaks when I pull away from the curb after being parked over night then it wont do it for the rest of the day. The truck has about 98k miles on it and as far as I know the bearings are original.

It is usually brakes that squeak. Bearings start by going whump, whump, whump down the road. When they are really shot they make grinding noises.
When brake pads get thin, they often have a metal tab that hits the rotor and makes a squeak as a warning.
