97 Rodeo Steering Jerking

Have a 1997 Rodeo, 3.2-4WD, 160 K Miles, Have noticed that it has started jerking to the right, Not continually but, occasionally, Have checked ball joints, slight ware, not bad, tie rods good, Possibly wheel bearing, any insight would be appreciated.

FWIW, I had a somewhat similar problem with my Isuzu Trooper a few years ago. It's wasn't jerking, but pulling to the right. The problem was a bad brake caliper. To verify, stop the car when you experience the jerking / pulling and quickly touch the right front brake rotor. If it is really hot, you found the problem.

Please do this carefully, as I burned my fingertips badly when I checked mine.


Good luck,
Dale

Have checked caliper, Did touch rotor, Shook tire and wheel assembly, No slack, everything tight, jerking as if a passenger reached over and tugged on steering wheel, really not looking forward to disassembling half of front end to check wheel bearing.
Thanks in advance for suggestion / remedies !
