so i was driving home from an hour and a half drive and about 20 yards from my street my truck started making like a whining groaning noise and vibrating, and so i didnt drive it till today and it started doing it again its gets really bad when im going slow and turning, and when i was backing out with the wheel turned it made a crunching ice noise, anyways i took the wheel off and its hard to turn i basically have to use a crowbar to turn it and when its jacked up, the wheel barely turns mayybe like an inch it doesnt just free spin, any ideas im thinking bearing but i dont want to have to replace it if its alot more than that

 

definatly sounds like somthing went wrong, only thing i can think is keep taking it apart untill youve found the culprit. have you pulled the rotor off yet? sounds like a bearing, but could could be cv axel? front differential? you do have a 4x4 right?

 

yeah i have 4x4 and the guy at murrays told me it could be brake hardware or the bearing i assume the bearing but i guess i dont know it onlys comming from the front left

 

remove caliper. if still hard to turn, remove rotor. and bearing and go from there. you will eventualy find what the problem is the more you take apart. good luck

 

took it to a friends house whos a mechanic, turns out both bearings are completely destroyed and so yup itll be sitting in the driveway till the weekend
