When the wheel bearing went out in my DD, it would vibrate insanely when going straight over 40 mph....never vibrated when i turned,this was in a dodge.

Right,you know what i mean...does it do it at high speeds? Either way its pretty simple to change the wheel bearings.

Well this is another ~230.00 dollars out of your pocket. At least they aren't hard to install.
