tire cupping/wheel bearings?
2003 2wd 2500
I'm getting cupping on the inner tread. New shocks, fairly new tires. Not sure what might be causing it. On the jack, everything in the suspension seems to be tight. Couldn't figure out how to check the front bearing though.
How do you get to the front wheel bearings? I took the tire off and expected to see a cap/castle nut but that wasn't the case. Are the front bearings even serviceable?

they are sealed hubs... you have to replace the entire thing.. I just replaced mine recently...
they cost anywhere from 250 - 350 depending on where you buy them

Tire cupping is generally a alignment issue. Many vehicles do not respond well to the alignment guy putting it in the "green zone" on their machine. And then you need to rotate frequentlly and monitor tire pressure.
