  1. Forgot to add, there was NO play in the wheel. Usually when bearings in the hub are shot you can jack the vehicle up so the suspension is free, grab the wheel, and rock it up/down and back/forth and you'll feel a little play in the wheel. There was none of that that I experienced.
  2. Alright, I got it figured out. It was the left front hub. The tremor gradually turned into a small "wobble" that I felt in the floorboard all the time but especially when turning right. I took the wheel, brakes, and rotors off and then spun the hub by hand. Only after removing all these things and listening closely could I hear a faint "clicking" sound when turning it. After I removed the hub, I spun it again (off the mount), and it felt rough. This caused me to rule out the CV joint and determine it was indeed the hub. The whole process took about an hour or so in my garage. I installed a new hub and that seems to have solved the problem. Thanks again for all your help!
  3. It doesn't sound or feel like hubs. It feels like something is warped or out of balance. 4WD is off, and it's not skipping when I turn. Brakes and U-joints might be good places to look though.
  4. Yes it's rhythmic. It seems to follow to rotation of the wheels (slower rhythm when slow turning, faster when faster). 104,000 miles. Ok thank you for the lead. I'll have to check on all that.
  5. Hey everyone! I'm new here and looking for some help on my truck. I'm stumped so far. 2013 Sierra 1500 5.3 There is a "tremor" when I turn the wheel that I feel mostly in the floorboard. The only way I know how to describe is it "feels like a helicopter sounds". It's still there when I drive straight, but noticeably less. Tie rods, hubs, CV joints, and everything in the front end seems tight (at least as far as I can tell). New tires. Balanced tires. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on what to check for? Thanks in advance!
