DjSC300

1992 sc300 175k miles

Rear left hub slightly loose
Faint squeeks while driving
Alignment off (possibly unrelated)
Mild swaying at freeway speeds
Tires properly inflated
lugs properly torqued
Still riding smoothly
NO bumps or vibrations

Was thinking the hub bearings are starting to go. Any other ideas? Any way to verify?

Thanks!

yep it's bearings for sure, with the car jacked up, if you push on the top of the wheel and it wiggles, your bearing is ready to go. the squeek will turn into an awful grinding, but it will last a long time, i went a year with a bad bearing, probably horrible idea but i finally fixed it.

Thanks man. do you think my car tracking to right heavily is caused by this bad bearing?

The alignment issue seems to have happened suddenly and I havent hit or bumped anything like potholes, curbs, tall driveways. Im going to inspect the suspension as much as I can while im under there anyways tho

my car tracked straight with the bad bearing so i'm not sure, could be but you won't know until you change it or get an alignment, i recommend changing bearing first.
