Yeah I think it's possible to change just the bearing but way harder plus need the right tools. I got mine 11/2 years ago off eBay for 63 shipped I was told it wouldnt make it past 8,000 miles so far 20k on it and still tight as day one plus I off road at least once a month

Mine did not have much play in the wheel/tire as I moved it either. It did have some scraping/rough sounding noise as I turned the wheels by hand though. It had a lot of bad noise when driving too. The noises all were gone after I replaced the hubs.

Default humming

I can hear the humming after 30 miles per hour. It's the loudest between 60 and 65 the humming goes away when I turn right but is loud when I go straight or left. I have a dog however I work at a Honda dealership in the service department and everyone is telling me it's my wheel bearings. Bringing it in to a Dodge dealership to have it fixed it's still covered under manufacturer warranty 5 years or 100000 thousand miles. Mines only 4 years 35000 miles. Thank you everyone for your input.
