How can I tell if it's a wheel bearing going out? When I brake on the freeway, my car shakes alot. Also, my husband said that he noticed that there is some noise coming from the passenger front tire? He said that his friend told him it could be a wheel bearig going out?
Re: How can I tell if it's a wheel bearing going out?...
Shaking when braking is caused by warped rotors. Have them resurfaced.
Bearing will cause noise that gets worse with speed and will let up when turing a certain direction.

CV joints will only click when the wheel is turned. Normally this is due to a torn boot and the grease gets EVERYWHERE in the front suspension. The clicking could also be that you need to bend back your dust shield that goes behind your brake rotor. You could have hit it when doing the strut and it is making contact with the brake rotor. As far as the shaking, this could be a number of different things. I would make sure the rest of your front end it tight. Check the ball joints, wheel bearings, tie rod ends, strut mounts, and wheels.
have a wheel alignment dine ( back first then front ) as it indicates a castor wobble
could be wheel bearings , tie rod ends or suspension rubber mounts
When you brake you hear a strange noise. The sounds brakes may make, should be something you are familair with.
When doing 45 mph plus, the car starts to shake. Now tell me, youv'e not experienced this many times in your life!
Turning left or right could be a worn steering rack,mostly because you never change power steering fluid,or upper strut bearings or any other suspension parts starting to wear. Or, it's just you noticing different sounds, than when it was new.
When you turn the wheel too far to either side,you hear the power steering pump squealing and telling you to stop. Another bad practice.
Now I would conclude, that you need to strip all four brakes off the vehicle and completely go through some sort of brake repair or service. I hope you already figured that.
Hello, it sounds like you have a possible wheel bearing or brake problem. first support the van on jackstands and shake the front tires, if you feel alot of play in the wheel bearings they may need to be tightened up, this is done by using a torque wrench to set the bearing load, if you need to get the torque sequence it can be found in the repair manuals at auto parts stores. if you shake the wheels and it feels tight with no excessive play it may be a brake issue, you need to look at the backing plate to make sure it isnt rubbing on the rotor.
First have the tires spin balanced - my guess is you have a seperated tire You could have a brake hanging up on that wheel Or not making proper contact - thus causing the rust or more correctly not removing the rust It may also be a wheel bearing
