So ive had this vibration in the front end for a few months. Gets worse when i turn left on the interstate or whatever, so naturally you would think the front hubs, specifically the passenger side hub. Both hubs were new, pass side was 2 years old, drivers 1 year. Replaced the pass side hub, and its still there, same sound. So i figured it might be my front driveshaft since it wiggled a bit in the transfer case, pulled that all today and the grinding/vibration is still there. What else could it be?

Its gotta be the drivers side hub, or a cv axle. Its always there, gets worse when turning left at speed, and goes away with turning right (im talking a on ramp at 55 or such) and it gets louder with speed. Any ideas would be great..

thanks a bunch

 

Wheels possibly outta balance?

 

Or a bad tire. Try rotating them.

 

thats what i was just thinking to myself..thats my next step...im going to throw some stockers on it and see if that fixes it..if so, ill get the wheels rebalanced and go from there..

 

no luck...going to do the drivers hub and see if that fixes it

 

You are sure the noise is coming from the front? Rear axle bearings make noise same way. A left turn will make the right rear axle bearing noisy. Just a thought......

 

Well like every one is saying have the tire and wheel checked out!!! Take it to a shop that deals with aftermarket wheels and knows about wheels. have them check the rim actually have them inspect it, make sure it sits on the hub snug! (if not then time for some new wheels, then check out the lug holes(make sure that they are still round and not fu*ked up, then make sure that he right lub nuts are being used or if you have the stock wheels throw them back on!
hope it helps been dealing with wheels for over 10+ years

 

it ended up being the drivers side hub..which is weird because it didnt wobble, didnt make noises when i spun it etc, but it fixed it

 

I was going to say check the UCA, mine are popping when I turn and the cam plates are moving.
