My Truck 89 GQ Manual, no turbo, Manual Hubs- i drive down the road and all is well, a small ridge or bump and sometimes the front passenger side wheel starts to rumble - it sounds just like i am driving along a rumble strip, no feedback through the steering wheel, no shake just the rumble noise, i can clear it by gently steering left / right, or slowing right down. This rumble can happen at a speed as low as 40ks and only happens when i go over a small bump, again this doesnt happen all the time.
With the car stationary (parked) if i push and pull on the side wall of the tyre (passenger side) i can feel some slack as the car moves it weight around, so far i have been unable to prove or disprove the wheel bearing (but thats my guess) as despite the hub being in 2x4 with all the bolts off it doesnt want to come off and feels like its caught on something, should i prize it off?
Any advice and comments welcomed - Thanks in advance, Phil
