ok so for about a month or two now i have realized that my driver side hub assembly (wheel bearing) has been going out cuz it threw off some codes on the dash. so i just recently got it replaced. now...there is a very loud sound whenever the car is going straight or taking a right turn..it is kinda like a constant...hum? or moan? and my steering has gotten looser.. to the point where i turn the wheel back and forth going 25 (as if i was a nascar driver warming up tires) and it feels like the rear end is just going to completely spin out. AND there is a very annoying like squeeking or creaking sound coming from the front end on BOTH sides when going slower than say...40mph and i honestly havent the slightest clue where or what it is...

I NEED HELP DESPERATELY I NEED THIS FIXED.

Did you tighten the axle nut properly?

First step here is to put it in the air and grab each tire and wobble it in every direction and feel for play.. once you've found play narrow it down by seeing which parts are moving when they shouldn't be, and which part is worn causing the un-wanted movements.

sounds like a bad hub. ask them what torque specs they use...


old stock specs were like... 384ft/lbs...which is WAY too high.
