Today on my way home I noticed a weird noise/slight vibration under about 50mph. I dont seem to have it when turning. About 3 weeks ago when I did ball joint I could feel that the right front was rough. Does this sound like bearing symptoms??? Thanks for the help

Jack up the front and see if you have any play in the tires. If it is a wheel bearing you will know.Also spin the tire.

jack it up and grab the tire on the top and bottom and rock it back and forth if u have play or it is loose it is bad.

push hard on the tire u may even use a bar to pry on it. big tires and rims can b heavy.

If the bearing felt rough when you did the ball joints then it's probably bad.
Rockauto.com has some good prices on the unit bearings.

Mine where toasted good. I couldn't get mine apart. The blow torch helped with mine. At the end of the day, I needed new hubs, bearings, and seals. It costed me about $500 per side plus labour. If I knew what I know now, I would just buy new stuff and blow torch off the old stuff. Bad design by dodge. There is no way to lube up these bearings after doing the install and its run to fail. I'm still fighting with the alignment guy. We both have different standards of whats called an 4wheel alignment and the dodge specs.

Well I just bit the bullet and ordered 2 hubs, rotors, pads, trac bar, and some other odds. Man I love how dodge just gives us the shaft on the front ends

I did a lot of front end work last weekend (still needs more) My driver side wheel bearing was shot. When i jacked it up it wouldn't hardly spin and had play in every direction and i had no idea it was bad. No vibration, no grinding or noise. Just sloppy handling. So far new front shocks, springs, upper and lower ball joints one hub about 1100 bucks in parts.
