How Do I Check Front Wheel Hub Assy?
The OEM front hub assy's have 176k on them. I'm not hearing any noise (I was changing the brake pads and rotors this weekend) but, I would swear the left one spins harder than the right. Is there anyway to determine if one of these is going bad or is worn out of spec? I can't feel any play in the hub either. The car is a 94 Camaro. Thanks!

I asked this very same question a few days ago, one spins easier than the other. they said with the wheel mounted, grab the top and bottom and see if there's any play, also do it from the sides. play = bad

I couldn't sense any play in the hub at all. However, I'd swear the left turns harder than the right. Just makes me feel uneasy. Unfortunately, the hub assembly is not a cheap component to just replace w/o just cause. Thanks!
