Thread: Got a problem here.

Sounds like a bad wheel bearing. Do the wiggle test.

i'll wiggle it once i get somewhere to do it safe cause for now i got my spare jack , no jack stands and 4.5 feet of snow in my driveway

thanks for the help guys now i'll try to find out how to reaplce it, are those pressed in the hub?

Yesh. You should be able to find a shop that can press it for a desent price. I had mine done on my 98' at the begining of the year. Just get a new wheel bearing, take your spindle off, take it to a shop to have the new one pressed in, and place back on car. Then I recommend an alignment.

If the bearing was bad enough it can beat up the hub, get a shops perspective when they press it out for you.

Also, check your tire for "feathering" of the treadblocks on the edge of the tire. This can cause a bad wheel bearing noise. It is caused by uneven wear due to poor alignment...which you probably have because you didn't perform an alignment when you replaced those other front end parts. That said, I agree with the above statements. The wheel bearing is the most likely culprit. Check (and fix) that and then check the tire wear.

About the braking:

It sounds like a seized rear caliper because if one is not working, your car will pull hard one way when you hit the brakes. I say rear because your brakes would suck if it were a front. Give them a check!

can a drum brake seize?

yes it can

well , all is good then

i'll give it a try next time i get the car up
