I had to go out of town on Monday, about 160 miles round trip, well, my right tire started making this grinding noise, it would come and go, well on my way back, it got bad and about 15 to 20 miles from my house, it started waddling and noise was bad, decided to push through, so i jack it up and it's the passenger side wheel hub. ugh!!!! i know i have to replace it but did i screw up anything else, i see yellow grease splatter every where, its a 4x4, what else did i screw up? caliper looks good, the wheel rim is bad too, please let me know...
this is hub assembly


this is behind the hub assembly, DO I NEED TO REPLACE THIS? IF SO, whats it called?:


the inside of the wheel


the caliper


top side of the caliper

the cv boot is torn.

As long as the axle isn't clunking on acceration, clicking in turns or dirt filled; you can get a boot kit and replace the boot.

The picture of the rim; what is the silver stuff outside the bolt holts?

Your ok few things here so first is hub if its still spins all you need is bearings unless its tore up inside
that rubber thing is just a boot advance sells a boot you can put right over it will post link tomorrow am
put some,grease in there but new split boot on your good

Also check the Lug Nuts, make it tighten enough with proper torque after installing accessories. If it gone bad then change it.

Tech2, which one are you referring to?
this one? it came like this, thats the rim


or this one? this was done by the wheel hub


here is a picture of the cv boot

From the pic, your wheel looks ok, like the corner got shaved round. Unless it's an extremely deep groove that got carved in there, I wouldn't worry about it. The caliper looks ok, but the steel/rubber brake line looks like it got ground down at the curve which weakened it, replace that.

thanks Camaro, what steel/rubber brake line looks ground down? i inspected that and dont see anything wrong, there's grease all over it

the wheel bearing and hub are a complete assembly, couldn't see much from the pic but if you choose to just replace the boot make sure you check the tone ring for the ABS sensor isnt beat up on the CV axle

Doug Roberts

Think your ok get a boot and pack it with grease new bearings clean that wheel off so metal shavings get in boot and drive if you need anything a wheel hub but don't think your going to main thing is boot. Need a special tool or get this kit like this
