Hey all,
I have been trolling around here on the forum for years, but never posted. I have a whirring/hum that sounds like when my front driver side bearing was bad. However, I am unable to figure out which bearing is bad. I have jacked it up and tried to find the wheel with play in it like I have read to do, but they all seem tight. Any other idea what the sound might be, or another way to check bearings without tearing into the rear hub assembly.
I was ready to change the rear passenger bearing, because of noise when I free spun the rear end, and found that the noise was a parking brake pad that was loose in the back of the rotor. Now i am at a loss as to what needs fixed.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Nucks
