Front Suspension Hub problem #1

2002 chevy Silverado 2500 hd, driver's side front wheel wobble, brake failure, and noise. Took vehicle to the dealer, and discovered that the left front wheel hub assembly and bearings were worn. Dealer states frequent problem with chevy silverados, no dealer recall.

Suspension problem #2

While towing a 30 ft 5th wheel trailer the frame vibrates for a period of time between 55 to 65 mph. Feels like a drive shaft u joint failure as it seems to be progressively worsening over several recent trips, but may be due to road conditions. Not predictable between acceleration or deceleration, just starts to vibrate. Can be severe enough to be startling at times. Possibly NHTSA #10021013 reference #3009. Have not found remedy listed anywhere.
