Hey guys i have a question for those who have had front wheel bearings go out.
Did you get a warning for a while, or did it happen quick?

The reason I’m asking is I have some noise in the front, it sounds like tire howling. However the tires are almost new Cooper Atp all terrains and are wearing good.
I lifted the truck up and checked for play in the hub, I can’t feel anything. I even took the tire and brake pads off and spun the hub and it feels normal i guess. Its not as quite as i would have thought, but with the axle turning its hard for me to say. Either way it was smooth.
At 40 mph it’s the worse. I driving down the road at 40 and turned from side to side and the noise doesn't change.
So I’m not sure if it’s the bearings or not.

If it is the tires then they are louder than my KM2s i had on my 1 gen 4runner!
I dont remember the tire being load when i bought them, maybe they have a defect.

Thanks, Doug

Switch the tire on that side out with one from the back or something....see if you can rule out the tires that way.
