front humming sound

[Derick Cardenas]

i'm experiencing humming and vibration at speeds 50 kph and above.



we lifted the trac and i noticed the passenger side wheel was freely moving unlike the other wheel. i couldnt hear any gringin sound when i turned the wheel. any ideas?

btw: abs light still is on

What kind of lift? Could be the AC hose.

could be the wheel bearing... and as for the abs light. there is a sensor right behind it that could be bad. had mine replaced last year.

i meant we jacked up the front tires.



is it normal for one tire to be moving freely and the other with some force?

 

[Dreman]

4 wheel drive or 2 wheel drive? Each wheel should have the same resistance to turning. Could be bearing or brakes. Only way to know is remove wheel and then remove brake caliper. If it is still hard to turn, it is probably bearing if 2 wheel drive. Bearing or front drivetrain if 4 wheel drive. If it's now easy to turn it is probably brake caliper.

how often do you rotate your tires? check for cupping on the tires. rotate them if the noise is still there look at the wheel bearing you should feel it if its bad there should be movement. not hard to change. the new ones come with the abs sensor. solve 2 problems at once.:supercool:
