HELP!!! Wheel Bearing?!?! Bad Sound! Alot Of Wheel Movement!!
I need some help! 2000 f150xlt, 4.6 4x4, 148,xxx miles...
I noticed yesterday a bad sound from the driverside front wheel! It JUST started yesterday, I noticed the wheel was tilted inward at the top MORE than usual! So we lifted the front of the truck up and the wheel moved about a inch if we push on the top and pull it out! There is ALOT of play there. If we push or pull from the top or bottom of the wheel will lean in about an inch and if we pull the top of the wheel outward it is perfectly straight like it should be!
What do you think this is?!?! Wheel bearing?!?! If so how do I replace it?
THE WHOLE wheel and brake disk move, but not the knuckle! The cv shaft moves too so im assuming its a bad bearing! Are there 2 bearings? Just one? Im assuming both of them are bad now if there is 2..
What would cause this suddenly? I did not hit any curbs, potholes yesterday, nothing.. But I DOUBT they have EVER been changed!! 148,XXX miles on my truck
I would like to try and fix this today! Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!
Thanks!

One contributing factor MAY BE! In the winter I put the truck into the ditch out on one of the gravel roads in the country and when I went over and landed 2ft down in a empty field that front tire hit first and I will tell you it took a HARD! hit. Before I got out of the truck I thought it took the whole wheel off when it hit, so that may have helped lead to this?????
