[Shotimes] Bad Bearing Symptoms?

[Dave Kegel]

Personally I've never had a bad bearing cause a vibration.  I assume you not
only balanced but rotated the wheels?  Sometimes a rim can be bent and they
won't notice it when they balance the tires.

Assuming it's not the wheels and tires, I would suspect a bad CV joint/axle
before a bearing.

Typically a bearing will get noisy when it goes bad.  A whirring/moaning
sort of sound that gets louder with speed.  Like you're running monster
truck tires.

For those of you who have had to replace a front wheel bearing, what were
the symptoms that led you to replace them? I'm hoping that replacing my
bearing(s) will cure a long-term front vibration problem that hasn't be
helped by multiple tries to balance the wheels. Thanks,  Pete
