| Description of the problem | Both front hub/wheel-bearing assemblies have failed on my truck. My truck has 50k miles! The front wheel-bearing on both sides makes noises, sometimes sounds like it is catching or getting stuck. This has caused me to wreck in a ditch and is very dangerous. The noise starts out only once in a while, then seems to be constantly grinding. |
