Typically, a bearing don't need to be replaced unless they have been abused, no grease, failed seal, etc. If you aren't sure when the last time the bearings were repacked its worth the hour to pull the front wheels to clean and repack the bearings. Clean up the bearings and give them a good inspection. Replace if you see any pitting or corrosion, any blue discoloration (indication of excess heat). If you replace a bearing, the race should also be replaced. And dont forget to replace the seal. After you know they have fresh grease, you can give them a quick adjustment about every 12k miles. Clean and repack every 36K miles. The clunk could also be worn ball joints, worn bushings, bad tie rods. When I purchased the car, the coil springs were shot and the upper control arms were hitting the bump stops...what was left of them. It clunked every time i hit a bump. Be sure to check everything out while you have it in the air.

When they get real loose you will hear some light clunking when turning. Wobble and wandering could be from bad ball joints, tie rods or idler arm

Hi Sean, probably not the bearings. Try this, tighten the wheel bearing nut until the wheel won’t spin. If it still wobbles, probably the ball joints. You can use a pry bar and pry between the ball joints and spindle to see if there is any play. If there is any play at all replace the ball joints.

@@vintagespeedandperformance6615 tried tightening I'm halfway through replacing them I will check the ball joints next since they weren't spending very well anyway the car sits a lot so I just kind of assume they were bad but it's probably the ball joints and I have them so I will do them next thank you for your quick response
