Wheel bearing noise stumping me.

[Ryan Shroyer]

Hello, I have a 2018 silverado with 5.3 4wd. I have had a humming noise coming from pass front for a while but recently it has gotten worse and is very bad at hwy speeds. When driving and turning right or swerving right, noise goes away when pass front is unloaded, this led me to believe pass front wheel bearing was culprit. I have replaced pass front wheel hub assembly and noise is still the same. Could a drivers wheel bearing cause this issue? I have rotated tires and there is no visible cupping/uneven wear patterns.

Could be the drivers front.

 

Just jack up the drivers side front and spin the tire while grabbing the coil spring with your other hand. If you feel the vibration from the spring, that bearing is bad.

I had what I swore was a bearing - ended up that a tire rotation and balance fixed it.
