I HAVE A GROWLING, BUZZING SOUND IN THE FRONT END, I THINK, WHEN I TURN SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT IT SEEMS TO GET SOFTER. WHAT DO YOU THINK AND HOW TOUGH IS IT TO CHANGE OUT A BEARING, THANKS, RON

Sounds like its wheel bearings to me!

Its easy to stip down and remove the hub bearing assembly. From there take it to a shop and have them press out the new bearing and press in the new one.

That huge nut is what holds it on. Dont use a impact wrench or you will destroy the cv joints and the bearing.

Have wheel on the ground and turn it with a large breaker bar to break it free.
