Thread: Wheel bearing!

Take off the hub assembly, repack your bearings and take it to your local parts store. They will tell you if it is in spec or not. If it is, turn em down and reinstall. If not, buy new ones.

If you get new rotors, some words of advice:

Many people believe that slotted and drilled rotors are the way to go because Ferrari and other high-end companies use them. In reality, those 6- or 4-piston Brembos generate A LOT of heat when decelerating a 200mph car, so they have those technologies to help cool them and prevent brake fade, something that is very prevalent on track cars. Your truck, on the other hand, does not get anywhere near as hot; so those drilled and slotted rotors are only accumulating to less surface area for friction to grab onto, as well as eating pads quicker on a standard pick-up. By all means get a good name with a good alloy metal, but for maximum stopping power for a 5,000 pound truck, you want standard veined rotors as they come from the factory.
