Just in the past 2 days or so I have noticed an abnormal vibration when driving my truck and extremely slow acceleration. Does this sound like a wheel bearing failure, and if so how do I proceed in repairing it? This is my only vehicle and I really can't afford any down time.
 
My crystal ball is a little dim this morning. What is vibrating and when is it vibrating.
 
I'm not exactly sure, I just know I can feel it in my feet. However I found a video after posting this on how to test wheel bearings. Mine checked out OK, so I began looking at other stuff, turns out all my brakes are partially stuck. Figured I needed a new master cylinder. Went to the local O'Reilly's and they thought the same thing, but they didn't have the part in stock. Went to the one in the next town over because they did have it. Ended up locking the keys inside, thankfully the back window was open so I was able to crawl in from there and get back in. Anyway I got home and when I opened the hood I realized that the part did not match. There were 2 electrical connections on the old one, the new one had only one, also the location for one of the lines didn't match up. Hopefully I can get back up there tomorrow and see if they have the right one.
