There is a sort of grinding rubbing sound that seems to be coming from my left front tire. How do I know if the bearings are bad. Also the sound only appeared short after the truck was regeared. Could the gears be not meshing right or could they have put something back together wrong?

 

I take it you have a 4X4 or a 4X2, 1/2 ton , 3/4 ton, or 1 ton.

What year Truck.,

 

o3 ram 1500 4x4 quad cab

 

Did they replace all the bearing seals when you did the gears.

Is you's straight axles or independent front end.

 

When you hit the brakes dose the sound change if so how.

 

they changed all the seals. Its independent, and yes the sound stops when i hit the breaks

 

Check you'r brakes for glaze and look at you'r pads.

 

I know it's a stupid question, but you did have the front re-geared at the same time you did the rear right? My suggestion is jack up the front and spin the wheel, see what you can hear.

 

wait just kidding the sound does not go away when I apply breaks, but does get quiter. It is the loudest at around 1500 rpms.

 

Add some grind away to you mufffer bearing that mite help
