axle,wheel hub and bearing issue. I Need Help
the cars giving me problems, motor still runs very strong but the wheel hub and bearing on the passenger side keeps going out. Last night i put in a new spindle with a good hub and bearing and it still kept making the rubbing grinding noise, in my opinion im starting to think that the passenger axle is bent, it vibrates at slow speeds then when it reaches freeway speeds of 65-75 mph it stops and you cant hear the rubbing wheel hub/bearing noise. so im pretty up to my neck and i cant keep trying to fix it, i spent too much money trying to fix it already.

Is your lower radiator support in good condition? If the crossmember already separated from it, the engine tilting down also puts stress on the axles as well. Just a thought for you to check..

Do some more trouble shooting and figure out what's really wrong, then fix it correctly.
There is no "spindle" on our FWD 4th gen.

Spindles are something that bearings and hub spins on. Our rear axle has two of them.

I kinda been having this problem too. The car has a slight vibration while cruising and its way more noticeable on the highway. I just cant figure it out and its pissing me off.
I was gonna try to replace the passenger bearing...but how the heck do i trouble shoot? I have shaken the wheels at 3 oclock and 6 oclock and dont get much play. BUT, when i changed my brakes and rotated the hub by hand, the hub wasnt rotating completley circular and seemed to be off. At the time i thought my rotors was just warped and once everything was bolted up i would be good to go. Evidently not....
opinions?
