Front Wheel Bearing Noise
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, 2002 GMC Sierra, 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2002 Chevrolet Suburban. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
A rough front wheel bearing produces a noise which continues with the car coasting at low speed and the transmission in neutral. The noise may diminish some when the brakes are gently applied. The noise may also change when performing side-to-side maneuvers with the vehicle.
A rough and/or noisy wheel bearing can be heard by spinning the wheels by hand and listening at the hubs for the noise. Inspect and replace the bearings and the affected components as needed.
