Hey Guys! OK,so I had what I thought was a failed wheel bearing, turns out it's not. Have a very annoying thumping/whirring/vibration from what seems like my right wheel. It intensifies as more of a thump when I turn to the right and is more of a whirrrr when I'm applying steering pressure to the left. Sounded almost exactly like a wheel bearing, so had my bearing replaced...not it. All 4 tires balanced and rotated..not it. Tech says my other bearing isn't loose and my axles LOOK fine, but it might be my right axle..as in the bearings inside the right axle. I thought it may be my other wheel bearing, but he says def not. My rear motor mount is also gone and is being replaced, could this somehow cause this type of thumping? It really sounds rotational, as in not just because of engine vibration. Any ideas guys?!? Thanks!!
