So one of your is making the noise after you replaced it with Timken's all around? I bought a Moog one for 105 w/tax because Bill says they are reliable and has a 3 yr warranty.

I thought for sure it was tire noise but after my buddy the mechanic checked, definitely a wheel bearing. Plus given the circumstances it has to be a bearing and not the tire.

Will post back after its 100% confirmed.

Oh, and no one has still given me a solid answer for the axle nut torque spec. Some say 118ft/lbs some say 159ft/lb because mine is a 02 (01+ are supposed to be torqued to 159ft/lb for some unknown reason)
