So i have a 91 chevy silverado 5.7 liter v8 auto trans 2wd with 174,000 miles on it and i just replaced the brake pads rotors and one caliper and i replaced both inner and outer wheel bearings on both front wheels. When i'm driving on the highway going highway speeds when i turn my truck a little bit to the right it starts making a whirring like sound but it doesn't do it when i turn left and yes i did grease the bearings. What could be causing the sound?
@akroeker1
Did you use good quality wheel bearings or the cheapest ones you could get your hands on?
I got autozone wheel bearings the duralast
@akroeker1
When you say "I replaced" you or you had it done? If you did it, I'd reset/check the bearing tension on that side. At any rate, I think the bearing may be a tad loose.
It seems that wheel bearing are not good.
I’m not sure if the Autozone bearings are good quality.
Is there any fluid leaking on any of the suspension components?
I still think it may be the wheel bearings. Do you have any warranty on them?
Wheel bearing, probably outer but maybe inner. Applying proper pre-load is also very important. Also check races for scoring !
When re-packing bearings with grease, I recommend use of a good high-temperature lithium-based grease.
OEM ACDelco bearings and new seals are my 1st choice, Timken is also good. But get some good ones, replace inner/outer at the same time, and I suggest when any bearing is replaced, replace them all on both front wheels.
