Happened today in the college parking lot, start it up, put it in drive and go to take off and the noise starts. Recently I had heard faint clicks every now and again at 30+mph making right turns or going around curves, but otherwise all was normal. Well I pulled the tire in the parking lot, noticed the caliper was right down on the rotor so I figured the brake was stuck (the abs light has been on for about 1 month). So I put the tire back on, drive it home and pull the tire again. Before doing so, I did notice a bit of slop in the wheel. I do know I'll need new ball joints soon, but I've had that problem with other trucks and it was never like this! Then when the tire was off, and so were the brakes, I turned the axle and it made the noise again! I locked the hub in, and then turned it and it turned the axle also. So I'm stumped... maybe wheel bearings? Any idea's on what it could be?! Any how-to's? I did plan on buying one of those Moog Rebuild kits and redoing the front end, does anyone think that would be a good idea? Any/all ideas apprieciated. I do have some time, I have another truck that I can drive in the meantime, but it's my old lifted one that gets like 12 mpg, is a stick and burns oil lol! HELP ME OUT! haha.
