Think I finally found it!

I have been chasing a SQUEEK for weeks. I finally jacked up the front end and have some SERIOUS SLOP in the drivers side wheel. I am embarrased at how bad it is! :mad2: I checked it a year ago and it was fine. The passenger side is rock solid.

My guess is that the noise is coming from the wheel bearing. Is this something easy to replace or should I take it in? I am fairly handy and have good tools.

New driver side hub assembly and the truck drives and sounds like new.

Good to hear. Did you end up replacing it yourself or have it done?

They are pretty straight forward and easy to do. It takes a little time but well worth it to do it yourself and save the cash. I did one side on mine last summer/fall. Now the other one is going bad..a little wiggle when jacked off the ground. :rolleyes5:

Ended up taking it to Les Schwab. I needed the truck done in a hurry and didn't have any time. Next time I will give it a shot.

its not a bad job. i think i did my drivers side in a little under an hour last february. biggest thing was gathering up the proper tools.
