Subject:      Noise coming from front wheel
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Lately I've been hearing a knocking sound coming from the passenger side
wheel. This only happens when I go up really, really steep inclines like
driveways and private roads. Looking around down there I realized that there
isn't much that could make any sounds except the front wheel bearings. I
jacked up the front and the wheel isn't loose so I took off the grease cap
and worked some grease into the bearing and it stopped it somewhat. Would
this be an indication that I need to replace them?
TIA,
Paul
