Default RE: wheel bearing

I am experiencing some vibration/noise in the front end of my 99 2wd Durango. It increases/decreases with change of speed, so I'm thinking wheel bearing. Going to jack up and support the front end today and see if there is any up and down play in the wheel.

Posting several lines wont work in the forum for long? I'd fix that before the D.

As for the ABS, post a photo of the controller/brake fluid res. Only a few lines and you have 2 wheel ABS, a bunch of lines and it's 4 wheel ABS.

With the D jacked up and the wheel supported in such a way that you can turn the wheel... grab it at 12 and 6 and if it moves when trying to rock it, the hub is likely bad. Personally, I'd look at the tires first for balance and to make sure there isn't a bad rubber situation (broken belts)
