I was just wondering how to tell if your wheel bearing is bad in the front. I can move the tire if i hold the top and bottom and rock it back and fofrth but the ball joints don't seem to be moving. So i look by my axle nut and the but is not muving but i seem to see that area to moving a little . Let me know any suggestions.

 

Most likely your wheel bearing(s).

Check to see if your axle nut is tight...make sure to use a torque wrench. If the nut is tight, I'm 95% sure you need to replace your bearings.

 

apply front brakes while rocking ... if movement goes away then u will definitely need new bearings .
