Re: Bad Bearings?

How many miles on it? Wheel bearings usually don't go bad for a long, long time and I think they should be re-packed at 100K miles. Jack up one wheel at a time or get it on a lift and spin the tires and see if you can hear a bearing grating. If it's a bad bearing it would run hot and if you could feel the bearing housing it would of course be warm/hot. I guess it's possible for one bearing, (maybe defective?), to go bad and once it starts to go they go quick, hence, the noise gets worse quick.
