Bad wheel bearings?

[Chizzychase]

I think my front wheel bearings are going bad. I hear some squealing when I brake and I think it's my bearings up front because sometimes when I turn I can hear it too. Any advice?

Ps. I just replaced the front brakes yesterday with new pads and rotors that's why I believe it might be my bearings

Break in the pads before doing anything. Depends on the pad some have Schaeferd edges and some don't. I find the ones that don't make some noise for a bit.
On another note if it was the bearings you would hear more of a growing noise and it would come and go depending on if you turn left or right. And if your hearing is good when you are turning either way you can tell which one it is.

I hear it when I turn left and when I brake. Initially I thought it was my brakes so that's why I did them but after getting it apart and seeing my brakes were in good shape I was stumped I went ahead and threw on the new rotors and pads but after replacing its still squeaking. I'm thinking its wheel bearings

Bad caliper or crusty brake hose?

Brake line is fine. I have brakes and they did get a lot better when I replaced the pads and rotors so I don't think it's the caliper

How many miles on the truck? 158,000 on mine when it started making noise on left turns. Turned out to be wheel bearing. Replaced both when I put in drop spindles, problem solved. Not an uncommon issue but it can be a ***** to get the old bearing out.
