Feel it under the gas pedal similar to grinding. Is this move by the shaft normal? I just noticed that the rotor is also scuffed up on one side, but brake pads are good, it feels like wheel is going to come off, am also suspecting a wheel bearing. It's a rumbling noise from underneath while driving

Hi,

Wow, that was certainly bad. I would also suggest confirming the ball joints are in good condition. Since you already have the bearing removed, let me know if that takes care of the issues. If there is anything I can do to help or if you need torque specifications or directions, let me know.

Take care,

Joe

Bearing changed, waiting on rotors and brakes as there was shimming too. Tires are new and wide so I am sure will cause vibrations. I doubt exhaust system is factory as well. Will see.

Thanks for the update. Chances are you found the issue. Also, double-check the ball joints.

Let me know how things turn out for you.
