Default 02 Honda Rancher 4x4 front end noise

I have a 2002 Rancher 4x4 ES and when im driving it i hear a noise in the front towards the right side. It sounds like a little piece of metal getting knocked around. I thought it was something in the break drum but i took it off and there was nothing in it. Its been happening for about a month now and its getting louder and louder. What could it be?

i would check for a wheel bearing, i havent had our 350 apart yet but i dont think its a big job. usually these things come apart quite easy. less then a two hour job i believe. When you get the bearing out take it to a bearing shop to match up and if its not a sealed bearing get one that is sealed both sides.

You won't be able to match that bearing up with anything except Honda OEM or Hilifter. I would go to Hilifter.com and just order the sealed bearing they sell. It will last a lot longer.
