Wheel bearings



Jack the car with it out of gear.
Roll the wheel, it should be smooth during the roll. Grab the top of the tire and push In/Out. If it wobbles? You need bearings. This test is a bit wonky when doing it on the sides due to the steering.
Have fun

>I have a stupid question...............how would I know if my wheel bearings were going bad!! Ever since I changed my snowflakes(14") back to the original nine spoke(13" taratula's) I've been hearing a rubbing noise (like brake wear indicator) and the front suspension is groaning.
