Noticed a rotational drone from the front end in my 03 TrailBlazer LT about a week ago. 99% sure it's a wheel bearing (or 2) but I'm looking for some advice. Between August 2011 and October 2013 I've dropped about $4,000 to do various repairs and maintenance. Money is a little tight right now and I'm wondering if the community has any thoughts on how long I can put off replacing the wheel bearing(s)? I only drive the truck 6 to 8 thousand miles each year, so it's not a daily commuter or anything, but I don't want to do more damage by waiting too long. And while I'm thinking of it, are the bearings separate from the hub or do they come as an assembly?
