1999 Ford Explorer Vibrations at 50km/hr

[zchen32]

Hey so i have a 1999 ford explorer and the car is great i love it. But when im driving it once i get up to about 50km which is about 31mph there is vibration that is very annoying and loud from the drivers side. Im in New Zealand so its a lhd car. it does not go away as i increase speed. I have noticed that the tread wear on the drivers tire is uneven also it predominantly feels like it is coming underneath the car. you can barely feel it in the passengers side or the back. anyone have similar issue with this? my friend thinks its a wheel bearing.

Wheel bearing is easy to check.

Jack it up and put it on a stand the grip the wheel and push and pull the wheel with your hands at 12 and 6 o'clock.
If there's any movement it's probably a wheel bearing.

Put your hand at 9 and 3 o'clock too to see if there's any movement there.

Your post said lhd, I think you meant to say rhd.
