I replaced hub on front axel but the noise is

I have a 2001 ford excursion and I had front end noise. I was guided to the hub bearing and I replaced hub on front axel but the noise is still there. Can it be in the front axel. When I bear right, the noise goes away until I go straight again.

It sounds like it is a front end suspension problem. The following should be checked: upper and lower ball joints, the sway bars links, and even the shocks. Replace what is problematic, and your front-end noise should disappear, if it is a front suspension problem. Hopefully, this will FixYa problem!

most likely the bearings in the hub are rusted to the axel. If you work at it you can use a point air chisel to push the axel shaft out you will have to replace the bearing in the hub. worst case you could take the hub and axel off together and press the axel out in a press. either way you will have to replace the hub bearing.

It sounds like a problem with the drive shaft knuckle its a sealer unit and not serviceable See if when you turn the axle back and forth you hear or feel clunking noise or feel movement in the sealed joint Iwould check the conduition of wheel bearings this kind of a problem tends to create a lot of heat so a over hall of bolth front wheels mabey brakes and bearings is likely along with any axle problems you find It sounds like you waited to long to address this things like don't braek over night they give waring signs make noises viberate you need to look and listen. repairs tend to be much cheaper and easyer if you do. It still sounds like you can save it but you need to do everything that it needs good luck and sorry its not easy fix but it needs work

How cdo i remove the front wheel bearing from my

Remove the wheel, brake caliper, rotor, the hub nut (big one in the center of the hub), take the two bolts out of the lower end of the stut, disconnect the tie rod, at this point you should be able to pull the hub out enough to get the axel out of the center of the hub. You may have to use pulley puller to push the axel out of the hub. Then remove the attaching bolts through the hole in the hub plate (where the wheel bolts on).

Scraping pulse noise r front merc sable

Check the condition of the wheel bearings, front and back side if the brake rotor, and the back side of the rim. Everything should be clean, rust build-up can throw everything out of true. The hub or wheel-bearing should be tight and smooth when spun.

Front end Rumble Simalar to worn Ball joint Noise

the problem with your truck is your knuckle bearings. I just replaced them on a friends truck and it sounds like the same problem. Just look on the inside of the front hub close to where the front axel attaches to the hub. If the seal is gone you will have a ring inside the hub on the axel shaft.

Loud roaring noise in front, steering wheel has vibration, replaced tires didn't help.

Wheel bearings are likly and I've changed many to solve this problem but it's esy to pick the wrong one with e vehical jacked and on jack stands suporting the car by the lower control arms ( normal ride hieght) run the car with a driver and listen to ti run , of course theres no load on the powertrain so there will be some lash ( power on to power decline ) cheack up. The roaring noise can be isolated by puting a sounding bar ( long metal rod ( sr=crew driver)) other against the part till the sound is rounded up rear but possible the carrier bearings in the (rear end) front drive. The axel bearings and on some units the carrier bearing thats in the CV axel on the block. Sounding rod will find and change the noisey part. Professional help is a good idea if you can't carry this out saftly
