I searched but i have not found what i am looking for, or im not wording it right. I have about 26K on my 2018 ram 3500. I have 3" AEV lift, cutout wide flares, and 40" tires with media balancing and Centramatics at all 4 corners. i just had to redo the rear wheel bearing and get a one piece driveshaft to fix the rear shimmy. now im getting a shimmy from the front passenger wheel, and it wiggles just a tad when off the ground all i hear is a slight clunking. Ive already replaced this wheel hub too not even a year ago but at the time i had to go with the cheap Chinese one from O'Reilly's auto. I am suspecting my wheel bearing again, how can I confirm this and not another problem?

Thank you.

With customization comes unique problems. If you are mechanically inclined the only thing you can do is tear it apart. See how things look. You can also check in with a speed shop or suspension business to have them make recommendations. Look for places that build Rick climbers, they might have some high end suggestions to end your recurring issues. Good luck

Were these pre-existing symptoms or occurred after the lift install? Was install DIY or retail installer? Is this a 4WD dually? Not understanding bearing failure at stated mileage, albeit not impossible, but there must be something else going on.

I would figure out exactly what is allowing you to get the "wiggle" you see and "clunking" you hear go from there. Parts other than hubs can cause that.
