Wheel bearing whine
So I'm hearing a whine from my 65 chevy long bed 2wd, it increases with MPH, not engine speed. I know Its not the rear wheels cause I jacked it up and ran the wheels with no noise. I just re packed the front bearings and it did nothing to eliminate the noise. I installed CPP's fron disc brake conversion, so Its all new, and has less than 5,000 miles on it, though when I had the bearings out I noticed "CHINA" stamped on them, could this be my problem?? I know its not the drive line or tranny either cause I can be coasting in neutral and it whines. Anyone have a link for some good american bearings I can order online?
Thanks |

Re: Wheel bearing whine
I pieced together my disc conversion from parts. IIRC I used Motor City or National bearings from the parts store

Re: Wheel bearing whine
If you have a 2 piece drive shaft it very likely the carrier brg. I wouln't blame the Chinese brgs. Although the quality is not as good as ours, it will not be that bad.

Re: Wheel bearing whine
Also, your driveline will still be moving at speed if you're coasting in neutral.
Might be a good opportunity to just pull the driveline and do a carrier bearing and all the u-joints. I just did this and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Cost me under $100.
