fireman1559 · 10-20-2008, 09:02 PM

a4runnerfreak · 10-20-2008, 09:05 PM

Cv maybe?

desert-rat660 · 10-20-2008, 09:07 PM

bearings shot? does the wheel have play if u take the load off of it?

fireman1559 · 10-20-2008, 09:14 PM

yea its easy to turn compared to the drive side and when u turn it it has a grinding noise

a4runnerfreak · 10-20-2008, 09:22 PM

There's an easy way to check your wheel bearings. Jack up your front end, support it on jacks. Grab the wheel at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions, and wiggle back and forth. There shouldn't be any excessive play (if at all). Then place a small block of something under the tire, and using a long prybar or something similiar, lift the tire up. It shouldn't move at all. If there is play, replace the bearings.

thanks ill try that tommmrrow anything i should try or i can do to see what my problem might be

a4runnerfreak · 10-20-2008, 09:40 PM

Try that. If all is well with your bearings, look at your cv joints. Look to see if the boots are ripped/torn/ etc. Do you locking hubs, or the ADD system?

just a 22re · 10-20-2008, 09:43 PM

i bet you money and beer its your wheel bearings wanna know how i know cause mine does the same thing sounds like a pissed off dog under the hood when ever my front hubs are locks im guessing you have add so your stuck there and yes its the bearings cause mine are shot!!!

just a 22re · 10-20-2008, 09:46 PM

a4runnerfreak · 10-20-2008, 09:48 PM

Jay351 · 10-20-2008, 11:05 PM

Who did your rotors? They mustve screwed up the wheel bearing install..

fireman1559 · 10-21-2008, 04:56 AM

i replaced the rotors i replaced them because i heard the noise and at first i thought it was only when i was stoping but hte more i listend it was always there

fireman1559 · 10-21-2008, 12:48 PM

i checked that tire how yall said too and there was no play it was solid now what do i need to do should i go ahead and replace both my wheel bearings up front? or could it be something else another guy on here put up a video of him turing his front cv and it made the same nois mine is making does that mean i need to rebuild the hub on that side?

fireman1559 · 10-21-2008, 12:58 PM

ok i just went out and checked when i put it in to 4wheel drive the passenger tire does not engage its still loose i checked both and the drivers side was locked i couldnt turn it with my hand so i guess that means my hub isnt engaging and i need to have it rebuilt??

Jay351 · 10-21-2008, 03:08 PM

Spin the tire (truck off) in the air with the hub unlocked, does the CV joint move? Turn the wheel with the hub locked, does the cv joint turn too?

You have an open diff so one tire will spin free..

fireman1559 · 10-21-2008, 06:57 PM

no it doesnt move nope it doesnt moved when locked either

Jay351 · 10-21-2008, 07:00 PM

Remove the hub and rebuild it
