Grinding sounds...

[T.R.P.]

Well ****.

I went to the money spending station and filled my truck up. When I left I made a turn and got on it, not WOT, but gave it some throttle. When the truck got to 60 mph I let off and coasted. I heard a very high pitch grinding noise. It doesn't do it unless I am doing around 45 mph or higher.


Bearings?

Well turns out the hubs were locked?

Anyways, the u-joints seem to be pretty damn loose. There shouldn't be any play in these right?

They both move about 1/2 an inch....

Truck only has 33,800 miles..

The sound went off and they are not moving at all now that I unlocked the hubs....

Ive posted several legit questions on this site and people view it but ignore it. Thats what I was talking about. Yes he did get a timely reply.

There are now no symptoms that they are bad. What ARE the symptoms?

Of the hub bearings or the u-joints in the axle?
