I don't know where my front wheel bearings are on my truck. It's not in front where most front wheel bearings are. Can you please help me locate them and can I pack the bearing? There is noise when I turn the tire. Can't find any info on this. Please help.

Serviceable wheel bearings went away around the late 1980s. The photo below shows the front bearing assembly for a 2006 Sierra 1500 two-wheel-drive. It's a bolt-on assembly. When they become noisy, they make a buzzing noise like an airplane engine.
