Front Suspension Hub Problems of Chevrolet Silverado

A few days before the incident my left front brakes were making a slight squealing sound when going straight. In a turn or when the brake was applied it would go away. Very minor. Then when traveling on the interstate at 55 mph I got a severe shutter in the steering wheel and the left wheel was shaking like crazy. I hit the brakes and the pedal went to the floor. After I downshifted I got it stopped on a hill. Had it towed home. The left wheel bearing had melted!! the wheel was literally hanging on as the driveshart u joint came apart. The front half of the driveshaft was bent and the brakes were shot. Turns out the (sealed) hub was rusted so bad it froze up. Then it fell apart on the road. Luckily I got it stopped with wrecking. Chevy wanted over $2200 to fix it. I did it myself for $330 from napa after watching youtube on how to do it. It was easy as pie!.

My complaint is the new front wheel bearing hubs. These units are used on my 1999 chevy truck. The bearing hub assembly is a prelubed unit. I was on the high-way running at about 70 mph. I started to hear a hi pitch noise from the front end of my truck. I stopped to check this out. I returned home very slow. My investigation turned up,that the wheel bearing was bad. I would like to see g. M. Redesign this unit so that it can be lubed. I also feel that this is a safety issue. There was no warning. I also feel that maybe the type of lube used should also be changed. I have been driving chevy cars or trucks for the pass thirty years. I must stress that the item in question is on the front end, if a person were to lose control ,that person will harm others.

The antilock braking system began to pulsate when braking at 5 mph and as a result the vehicle did not stop. The front hubs were found to be the cause and were replaced.
