How Do I Know Which Bearing To Replace ?

[CobraGT40]

Hey all
I'm pretty sure I have a crummy bearing up front...little bit of grumbling when making turns...and when slowing down and making a turn there was "thuk-thuk-thuk-ing" (but not as often) sound. I removed the 4x4 fuses from the panel by the battery and that got rid of the more expensive sound, but there's still the groaning on slow turns.

I'm sure it's a wheel bearing ? Is there a way to tell which one is bad ? Or is it just "keep replacing them til you find the right one"?

Thanks !

Scott

jack it up and see if the tire/wheel bearing has any play in it also could try turning the tire when its up on jack if its that bad you should be able to hear the bad bearing grinding.
