Hey guys,
So about 2 years I had both front wheel bearings replaced. I understand that a bad wheel bearing symptoms are a whirring sound at certain speeds and that there is play from 12-6 o'clock (I think, or maybe horizontally?)
But anyway, I had my tires changed recently and they said I had a bad driver's side front bearing. Problem is, the symptoms are kind of different. There is no whirring noise, but there is a slight scraping noise from the rotor. Also there is play 12-6 & 9-3 o'clock on the wheel. Is this a bad wheel bearing or is it the hub? Or maybe even something else? I'd like to get some info before I take it in to a shop and they end up charging me to replace something else that won't fix this problem.
Thanks in advance!
