2015 Chebby Silveraydo. I hear a very slight rumbling noise in the front end when I'm going straight. When I go into a curve to the right and the weight of the vehicle shifts to the left, the sound goes away until I come out of the curve. When I curve left, the noise stays. Any ideas? I'm guessing a bearing in the hub assembly, but of course you can't simply replace a bearing anymore. Which side is bad?

In a word, it's probably trying to tell you: Toyota.

I grew up in Flint, MI, birthplace of Chevy Trucks. I'd have been a millionaire by age 30 if I hadn't owned so many Chevys back then.

Mark

Probably both sides are bad. Over 75,000 ?

Jack up the truck. Spin each front wheel by hand while listening for the noise. It will help you narrow it down.

Sometimes it is as simple as a brake shield bent/rusted or with slight damage from debris or ice.

Jack it up put a bar under the tire and see if you can shake it like it’s loose it should have some play in it if bad.

She has 120000 miles on her. All highway miles. I've been expecting something to start trubble. The AC has been losing Freon too but that's the least of my worries now.

Snow and ice build up can create temporary noises in vehicles too.

Right front hub/bearing assembly. It's *almost* always the side that gets louder when more weight is put on it. Very occasionally I see it on the side with less weight around a corner, I'm not sure how to explain it. Spin them up in the air, you'll hear the difference. Super simple,way easier (but more expensive) than old style bearings. It's one piece, and the abs sensor and tone ring is incorporated into it. The new one will come with a new sensor. Three bolts from the backside of the knuckle, and the axle nut if it's 4x4, and it'll come off. You may have to beat it off, they tend to get corroded in the knuckle. A little sandpaper to the knuckle and some antisieze will prevent it next time.

When the wheel comes off that’s the bad one.

Had to change both front hubs on my chevy truck 600 for parts the labor was free then the CV joint went out on the left side now the right side is out. So you may be spending a lot unless you do it yourself.

I would suspect the front wheel bearing(s). Those sealed units don't last forever. Isn't like old days when you took the bearings out and regreased them.

If you can wait for delivery order them on rock auto. You might be able to get both bearings for the price of one at the auto parts store.

Definitely do them both when you have the tools out. There not that much money. Like loose goose said, sometimes you have to pound them out. After that clean real well with sandpaper/wirewheel and coat with never seize. Then install

Change the wheel bearings. Inspect the spindle when you get them off should be cake. I have seen brakes do it but sounds like wheel bearings.
