I've been tracking down what sounds to be the same problem for a while now.

I thought it was coming from the passenger side because it went away when I turned right (weight off passenger side) so I replaced the bearing to no avail. I've purchased the other side bearing but haven't installed it yet, but I am not confident it will resolve the problem. I'm not sure if we have the same issue, but it seems similar.

Start simple. Rotate the tires. Seriously, I thought I had a bad bearing on my explorer and I put the spare on the front for S & G and the noise and vibration went completely away. I had good year tires and they were starting to separate, but lack of rotation or any tire anomaly might be the cause.

yes, thats all that is available, the bearing assembly is not servicable. you get waht you pay for with these bearing units, dont cheap out if you can afford not to. napa sells timken units and i believe they have a warranty on them as well.

yeah tomo im gona drop the spare tire (new) put it on and go for a ride, also going to see if there is any slop in the wheel once truck is off the ground. i did get to do the speed test, turn the truck at speed mayb 25 mph or so and the noise quiet down considerably so sounds like the hub ***
