    i know its not the wheel or the tire and the steering wheel does not wobble, the van does. as far as the tie rod is concerned, i did jack it up and jerked the tire around and nothing seems loose.

    i would like to thank you all for responding so quickly and apoligize for taking so long to get back.

  • wiggie420 Dec 09, 2009

    o.k.,apparently i typed my response in the wrong place...sorry.
    i did inspect the wheel and the tire, they're fine.i also jacked up the front end and jerked the tire around and nothing seems loose. the steering wheel doesn't wobble but the van does.
    thank you for responding so quickly and sorry it took so long to get back.

    do u inspect the wheel itself? did you check for excessively worn front end parts like tie rod ends?

  • TdiPWR May 11, 2010

    rotate wheels front to back. can you feel it more in the wheel or the floor??

How can you tell if the front hub assembley needs changed. There is a loud noise that gets louder as you pick up speed. I was told it was the front wheel bearing but there is no wheel bearing just the...
There is a wheel bearing inside the hub as well. They will sell those bearings I've bought them before. Chances are you need to talk to a better parts guy. You can tell if it's a wheel bearing by taking the vehicle up to a speed where the noise is clearly audible. Then swerve the vehicle back and forth in your lane. If the sound changes or goes away when you swerve, it's a wheel bearing. Obviously we're not trying to crash the vehicle here, so don't get over aggressive with the swerving.
