Wheel Bearings???

I have a squeaking noise coming from my front left wheels and i was thinking it is my wheel bearing and its not the brakes....

What are you all opinions on this an how would i go about fixing it?\

Thanks Ahead of time!!!!

where u at in florida?is the noise worse when turning? if so could be the u joints located at the end of the axle mine are making noise also

It is deff not my U-joints!!! but yes i do live in florida!! so any more suggestions!

read my question about axle ujoints someone replied with a good link about how to replace the( hub assy)bearings with step by step and pics...

You can't replace just the bearings. you must buy the whole hub assembly. If you still have the original one on, it might be a pain in the butt to get off, but they aren't too hard to do.

Jack up the wheel and push/pull at 9:00 oclock and 3:00. Repeat at 12:00 and 6:00. If there is no wobbling, the problem is not your bearings. If you do get wobbling, then crawl under the vehicle and have a friend jiggle the wheel again. Look at your bearing hub for movement ... look also at your ball joints; they might be worn, causing the 12/6 play. If you are getting play at 3/9, but not at 12/6, you should check your tie rod ends.

Here are some good links with directions for replacing the hub/bearing assembly:

The last link above is to an article on upgrading axle shafts, but it also covers bearing hub replacement, since you have to remove the hubs to get the shafts out.

Here is an ebay guy who sells XJ Bearing hubs at a great price. I can't vouch for the quality of the product, but others here on have bought from him:

Good luck!!

Here's another one, with a little better price. I just sent out payment for one myself. When I checked the part number with an online parts site, it appears to be the better of the two listed. I won't know for sure until I get it. There was a big jump in price from one to the other, like double if I remember. Hope this one's okay...

early unit bearings were, but you need a press to do it.
