Question
I rotated my tires today (way overdue) anyways, when I put the passenger side tire on and snugged up the lugs I realized that I can grab the top and bottom of the tire and wiggle it. Probably about 1/4" of play if I had to guess. I thought that was kinda odd. So I let the jack down so the tire touched the ground and torqued the lugs, then jacked the truck back up. No change, still wiggle, wiggle. What do you think it could be? I'm thinking TRE or BJ.

Well I took the wheel back off, unbolted the caliper, pulled the rotors. Well the wheel bearing is the culprit. It had a lot of play in it and when I turned it I could hear it growling..... And the best part is, I phoned down to my dealer and the wheel bearing is covered under my power-train warranty. Sooo on Saturday morning the truck goes into the stealership. Until then I'm borrowing my parents car to get to school. Now if only they would do my front brakes for free too haha.

Well I have a nice new passenger side wheel bearing now. Something still doesn't feel quite right though. The front end of the truck is pulling, both ways. A couple of people have told me it is because I have my bars cranked. Would cranking my bars cause my truck to pull to one side and then the other? It kinda feels like a wheel is loose(I've already re-torqued all the lugs). Any ideas? I think I'm gunna take it in and have the alignment checked. What could cause the front end to pull around like that? Bad ball joints?

It happens only when driving. Like driving everywhere, on the city roads on the freeway. It's gotten pretty bad. It's been doing it for a while, but now it is worse after the new wheel bearing. It's almost scary at times.. I take all my vehicles to Metro Motors, I have umm.. connections there. With the owner.
