Hi, I just bought a stock 83 toyota 4x4 with a 22r, 5 speed. I have fought through some carb problems and now the truck runs great. There is this front end noise that is pretty annoying. It sounds like a rumble, starts around 20 mph and gets louder until about 55-60. I thought it was a left front wheel bearing becuase if I steer to the right it goes away. I removed the hub and adjusted the bearing but I really can't tell if it changed much. Does anyone have any ideas? This is my 1st toyota so any help would be much apreciated!

if the noise is coming from the axle its a good idea to just go ahead and rebuild the axle. it very likely that your wheel bearings are worn out.
