Noise. When you take the wheel and rotor off you can notice slack in them also.

Wheel bearings that are bad will usually have a humming noise associated with them. A lot of the time to when you turn the wheel in one direction or the other the noise will stop. Just my experience though.

Yup, it usually will stop when you put pressure on that wheel.

Doubt I have a wheel bearing out then. Got some vibs at around 60 moh and up and a resonation at 45 mph. Also some rattling type noise whn I go over rough roads or terrain. All the ball joints are good to go, and the bolts are torqued. I am really at a loss.
