Hey folks, I've got a 1994 K1500 5.7 TBI and I had a slight wobble when i got on the brakes. So I jacked up my front end and all my tie rods and ball joints are tight but i did notice that my right front wheel will not spin freely. It will spin almost a full turn but you have to force it the last little bit. The left front tire spins freely. So I replaced my rotors thinking warped rotor and the wobble went away but the tire still does not spin freely? What gives? Is it supposed to be that way or what? Any help would be appreciated.

 

stuck caliper? did you lube the brakes when it was apart

 

It seems that you have to change your wheel bearing. The front wheel bearing keeps the tire spinning smoothly; but when it is faulty, it causes undue tire friction and leads to excessive and premature tire wear. Accordingly, you may see visible damage on your Chevrolet's tires, such as cracked and peeling treads, due to wheel bearings that are loose or degraded.

 

Okay Jeff, I replaced my wheel bearing and I made sure the calipers were freed up and it still does it! Seems to me its in the differential case.

 

Check your cv axle. My front driver side did the same thing to me, replaced the cv axle and it spins fine now
