Humming sound??
« on: March 05, 2007, 06:41:17 PM »
Hi guys, I just repacked my wheel bearings the other day and since i had to leave early from doing it i had my bro put my hubs back in.  To no suprise  he put the hubs in wrong somehow.  My passenger hub turns from lock to free but it does not feel like its engaging anything.  And my driver side hub   is stuck on the lock position.  I dont know if this is right but my axle shafts are spinning and my front driveshaft is spinning even tho the T.C. is locked to 2wd.  And now my driver side wheel makes this humming sound sometimes.  Picture this sound in a deep tone...hm hm hm hm hm...it does that for like 5 min then quits and then ill hit a bump and it will stop...then 5 min later it will do it again. By the way it wasnt doin this before i took the hubs out.  Im so confused guys!! :-\  Could this be that my hub is in wrong???  PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

Driver's hub is locked and passenger's is free, right?

Try to put them back in - they have to be "free", when you're installing them.

Of course there's always a chance you've damaged something ;)

Give more details.

And now my driver side wheel makes this humming sound sometimes. 

Maybe it doesn't know the words...

Sorry, I couldn't help it...

I second looking at the hub article in ack's FAQ.
