When you said just Kidding it sounded like you were mising with me.

Jack up the side of the truck you think is bad grab hold of top and bottom of the tire and see if there a lot or some play in spin the tire ans listen to it and go from there I think the front wheel bearings are seprated from the gear set change you could just need new wheel bearing the joy of owning cars and trucks also check the half shats see if they worn out.

If you'r truck lifted you go thought half shaft faster do to high angles from the lift kit.

I thought the bearings on our trucks were sealed, and wasn't to be changed, or messed with?
