Weird. I was coming back from the shooting range and realized I was having to keep "left pressure" on the steering wheel to keep the truck going straight, otherwise it would try to dive right. I thought it might have just been a low tire, but it wasn't. It doesn't do it all the time, just intermittently. Also, sometimes, if I let go of the steering wheel, and hit the brakes, the wheel just turns right and the truck will dive right while braking.

I'm thinking stuck right front caliper, but before I go yanking them off, I'm wondering what else it might be? It couldn't be a non-functioning left front caliper, causing it to brake right, otherwise it wouldn't do it now and then while driving regular.

Hoping you guys have some ideas what I should be looking at. I've got a 300 mile drive tomorrow, and don't really want to get stuck in Nowhere, TX again.


Why does this stuff always happen right before I need to go somewhere?

I think it's safe to say it's my hub. Jacked the tire up off the ground, and when I spin the wheel, it's a wee bit wobbly. I can push the tire and it tilts in 1/2 - 3/4" at the top. Guess I shouldn't drive on it anymore. Now I have to find a good source at a reasonable price.

OK I have the hub out, it's shot.

I read somewhere on here that if you have ABS, you can get an aftermarket parts store hub, but if you don't have ABS, then you need to get it from the dealer?

Well I didn't disconnect anything electrical, I take it I don't have ABS.

But, Autozone part # Timken HA590020 for $208.99 says withOUT ABS, and so doesn't Napa part # BRGBR930405 for $264.

Will either of those work?

O'Reilly's has 515012, but it says that one is FOR ABS...

Can I use either of the first 2? Is the Napa that much better than the AZ one? Timken is who makes their bearings anyways...

That should work. I just replaced one of mine with the ABS and it was hard to find one in stock, everybody had the non-ABS hub! Hope that helps.
