Doesn't grumble when you rotate the wheels, no slop top to bottom or left to right.
Sound starts building around 50+ freedom units.
Not the tires, just dumped my RFT and put on snows, no difference.
No tears in CV.
Does not increase frequency with speed, only volume.
Any thoughts?
Had a bearing fail with no signs?
I'll probably replace it anyhow since it's only starting to bug me, maybe hasn't failed enough?
The exact same happened to me and it was indeed a wheel bearing.
