One way to check (not the official right way) is to jack up one side and grab wheel on sides or top and bottom and try to wobble it, then do the same on other side. If one has a detectable larger wobble then the other, it is likely that one is bad. Replies to this message: wesley72 (Aug 08, 2007 10:52 am) ray80 (Aug 08, 2007 3:35 pm)

Replying to: ray80 (Aug 07, 2007 8:50 am) You are correct. I had both wheel bearings replaced and the groaning noise stop. Thanks for your help. Do I throw the old ones away or can they be rebuilt or something else? Replies to this message: ray80 (Aug 08, 2007 3:35 pm)

Replying to: wesley72 (Aug 08, 2007 10:52 am) They can not be re-built or anything. If the price you paid for replacement is like some I have seen,,,,,,,,,,, perhaps you can use the old ones as exspensive paperweights
