forgot to mention (because it's been a while) that i re-torqued my axle nut once i heard the squeal, and it went away for a little while, but came back...probably a couple months later

Interesting that your's is the same year as mine... How many miles do you think you had when it went? I'm only at 42k, and it's not like I don't drive it!

That's EXACTLY it! And I have no play, but it truly SOUNDS like a bad bearing. I just ordered one for each side last night. Any benefit in replacing the hubs at the same time?

And thats a TON for the info!

you won't know if the hub needs to be replaced until you pull the old bearing off. with my mileage, i decided it was worth an extra $100 or so to go ahead and replace the hub while i had it all apart. if you're on a budget, you may be fine, but definitely inspect it.

mine had probably...125k-ish on it when i replaced it; i replaced the same one probably 25k later, so who knows how long they _should_ last. i didn't replace the hub the second time though.
