    Wheel bearing issue?

    I just replaced the control arms and bushings 2 weeks ago and was still getting a little shimmy in the steering wheel, had appointment to have alignment. I was leaving and had a thumping noise from the front, luckily close to home so went back and took a different car. Checked the wheel and it moves from side to side, does this sound like it is the wheel bearing?

    Thanks for any help, Kerwin

    Not likely. It sounds like you may have an issue with a tire or another suspension component. Typically a wheel bearing will rumble or howl when it’s going bad.

    Since Control Arms and FCABushings have been replaced,
    have you inspected or replaced the TieRod ends,balljoints?
