Leaning toward the bearings, but check the LBJ's anyway, and replace since you already have them.

| Post subject: | Wheel wobble at 30 mph |
Once I get going I feel the jeep start to wobble or bounce a little and it goes away. At higher speeds I hear a whomp whomp sound as the tires rotate. I had an alignment done, wheel balance and rotation and it is still there. I checked front and rear drive shafts and they look fine. CVs look fine too, boots aren't torn and little to no play in the axles near the front diff. I am thinking either ball joints or worn wheel bearings. How do I check if the bearings are bad. I read online to lift the jeep up and push the wheel in and out to check for play? is that right? I have a set of Moog lowers joints just waiting for some time to put them in. |

Well went on youtube and found a bunch of videos on how to check and replace hubs. Timken has some videos on there that were helpful. Also I found a good video for how to check the lower ball joint....I was doing it wrong. haha. |

Thanks for that. I checked them last night, spun the wheels and no noise other then brake pad sliding over the rotor. Then I did the horizontal check for movement and after about 10 minutes I concluded that I may be feeling a bit of movement on the drivers side. Very minimal but maybe that is all you need to make a difference. Also checked the LBJ and drivers side solid but the passenger side does have a little play. I will be swapping them in a few weeks and when I do I will pull the half shafts to inspect. After all that if I still have the issue then I will probably pick up the drivers side hub swap and test. |
