93 With a front end noise from the 88-98 forum - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I had to drive my 93 for a long trip yesterday. I knew there was a noise in the front I thought either was a wheel bearing or front differential bearing. It was never really loud just annoying. Now on the way home last night the noise got worse. It sounds almost like a egg tire thump thump thump. Tires are newer so idont think thats the issue.

I looked under the front end and saw some wet areas were the front CV go into the transfer case. I dont know how to check the wheel bearings. And now thinking about the U joints are still stock with 172K.

Any suggestions on what to look at to try and figure this out? I would like to keep it out of the shop if all possible.

Im thinking repalce the wheel bearings and U Joints?
