I noticed I have a warped kinda whining sound when making slow turns, more with hard right turns, top speed of about 15...it's coming from the wheel well....any ideas?

 

hows your power steering fluid doing?

 

it's good i changed it about 6 months ago...

 

Constant sound or cadenced (at regular intervals)? Does it speed up/get higher when you go faster?


I had a passenger side wheel bearing go out that I only noticed during turns to start with.

 

im gonna guess a wheel barring on u-joint

to check wheel barring, lift the corner of the truck up so the tire is off the ground try to wiggle it top to bottem if it wiggles its a bad barring
u-joint with the tire still in the air spin the tire (in 2wd) look at the axle u joint if there is slop in it then its bad

 

ive never heard of that for a bearing. thats how i check my ball joints.
a lot of times you can do a visual inspection of the ujoint in the axle. you can usually see the damage on the caps.
doesnt the 2 wd have bearings and the 4 wd have ujoints?

 

I had a whining sound but I got rid of the Bitch so I don't here it anymore

 

4wds have bearings called the hub assembley

 

with ujoints, correct?

 

yes i had the same thing happen to me, except front left tire. bearing assembly went out, but they didnt say anything about the u joint. and 5 days later its squeakin again so its goin back in. im sure this time it will be the u joint.be prepared to dish out 300 for the bearing assembly.
