front pass. wheel ticking

[Boggin]

hey on my 79 bronco, if i drive in either forward or reverse, left or right. she makes a ticking noise that gets worse as i speed up. its real loud and annoying and i dont like the sound of it. it all happened after i went an got stuck with my new 33s if that makes a difference. and i unlocked the hubs and same thing still ticking.
thanks guys

Busted hub or worn out bearing.

Pull the wheel off and take a looksey.

ok thanks. and i know the 4x4 still works so must be a bearing? ill take it apart and check the bearings tonight

rock stuck in the tread? seriously go and check because this happens to me every once in a while.

 

[Boggin]

no its not that

Probably got water in the bearings and now they're torn up. Easy to tell once you get the rotor off.

Certainly sounds like a bad bearing. If it starts to crunch or squeal its really bad!
