My hub bearing went bad last night, but before it went there were some warning signs. First it sounded like the tires whining on a 4 wheel drive, but not so loud. I attributed that to some used tires i had bought and put on the back to burn off, (when my i install my new motor). Then for a day or so, the brake pedal was real soft, i figured the master cylinder was going, i have 70k on her. Well it turned out to be a bad hub bearing. This is what i think happened, i had rotated the tires a while back, there were no arrows on the tires showing direction, i think i put the front 2 on backwards. That caused a vibration, and that broke the bearing after time. What do you guys think?

 

I don't think that explanation is plausible.

 

Well than that wheel bearing must have just went, at any rate, i should have caught it way earlier, i only drive the car on weekends, and my daily driver is a 4 x 4, i guess i was so used to driving the truck, that i didnt even notice the car making more noise.
