Front left and right wheel bearings going bad make grinding and crackling sound especially when you turn left or right. When they start going bad, the issue will grow worse very quickly. Time is not on your side with this. A few hundred dollar fix can turn much more expensive if left unattended.
You can drive until the bearings fail, but this risks causing other damage and making the repair more expensive. If you know the bearings are failing and you don't plan on getting rid of the car in the near future, you may as well bite the bullet and get the bearings replaced.
A bad wheel bearing is always noisy. As you drive the car, steer it like you are changing lanes( to shift the load on the bearing) and listen for a change of pitch in the noise. If it is bad it will change pitch. Wheel bearings have to be REAL bad to cause vibration; are you sure you don't have a bent rim/ bad tire?
About $500 to replace. They keep your wheel on. If your wheel bearings break off your wheel falls off.
yes they sound like 4 wheel drive mud tires when bad you can tell what side is bad by turning the wheel slightly to the left and then right while going straight
