Front Wheel Hub Trouble

[MountainDew]

I just remembered I been noticing some noise and I'm starting to think the front wheel hubs are on their way out cos it's coming from the driver's side , its a 17 pro 4x and gets worse around 40 to 50 mph, no ABS light yet, but if I'm observant as I think I am, the vibrations are getting worse, I've heard Titans are known for going through hubs a bit early, can anyone confirm that here?, anyway need help, thanks in advance for the trouble

Yeah, it definitely sounds like your hub is on its last legs. Those Titans are notorious for wearing out a bit early, and that noise and vibration you're hearing at 40 to 50 mph? That's usually a sign that the bearings are going south. Have you thought about checking for any play by rocking the wheel at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions? It might just save you some headaches if you catch it before it spirals into somethin worse

Sounds like the bearing might be wearing out. Give the wheel a wiggle, if there's any side-to-side play, the hub's probably going bad. Better catch it now before it gets worse

Based on the symptoms you described, it definitely sounds like a wheel bearing going bad like the other guys suggested.
The ABS light usually doesn't come on until it's really, really bad and the sensor is getting a wonky signal.
I wouldn't say it's a super common issue, but it's not unheard of, especially on a truck with some miles on it that's seen some off-road action.
It might be a good idea to check out the passenger side too since you're in there. Good luck with the repair!
