I was driving around tonight and i noticed that i get a humming sound from the passenger wheel on my 92 4x4 when i take gradual left turns.

it appears to be a deep hum. there is no vibration just a hum

i just recently replaced my wheel bearings last year.

could there be anything eles i need to check out?
is it a big problem?

thanks
 






I'd look at your bearings again. That's usually a sign of a worn/damaged bearing. I'd also check the universal joints for wear/damage.
 






where are the u-joints?
what should i look for when i inspect them?
thanks
ryan
 






The u-joints connect the axle ends to the axle. They are just inboard of the hub assemblies. Check them for play and binding.
