Need help with funny front end noise
Ok everyone I need some opinions I have this noise in my front end and it pretty noticeable! It sounds like tire whine mixed with bearing growl it gets worse when I go around turns over thirty and I can kinda feel it in my pedals. I just replaced all the bearings and races in both ends. I'm running some Goodyear wrangler dura tracks (285/75r16) with probably 50% tread. It has never done this before this bad it always made a slight whine with the tires just a slight whine. This is really getting me worried cuz I don't want to have a catastofic failure going 65! It's kinda like a whoop whoop whoop sound, it's not a constant sound. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Ok I will try that, when I replaced them I tightened the inner nut down tight not super tight just a little less than snug, I made sure the hub spun freely. And I drove about a hundred miles and felt the hubs and where the outer bearing sits was cool and at the inner in was a little warm.

then you didn't set em tight enough, would be my guess.
mine are set for a decent pull with a 3/8 ratchet past the point of being "hand snug" with my hand directly over the head of the ratchet (no extra leverage. picked this up doing spark/glo plugs on vehicles).
I have done 175kmh indicated with those bearings in. I have gone 4 wheeling and towed trailers. No issues.
