Thanks,

More than likely it has a bad wheel bearing and will need to be replaced soon, before it snowballs into tearing up the spindle that they ride on. The other side should be inspected as well. This is common after 100,000 miles to have to be done.

Reply to Virtual Wrench's Post: I've had it looked at by a mechanic and he says I need a new axle on the one side. Does this sound right?

It sure could, especially if the bearing was real bad.

Thanks for asking!
