Ok, now i am stumped and getting more mad at this kia. I left my car in the garage for 2 days, then drove it last nite for about 1 hour and no noise at all? Then today weather at -10 with windchills at -27+ it started doing it 30 mins into my drive? I am so stumped at all of this.
I did what was said and did the tire test, no slop! However, the noise is intermitten, not consistent in 4 wheel drive. It will do it for about 15 sec then no again for 5 mins.......
Now here are my thoughts on this? Is it possible something is locking up due to the cold. WE have had several days of way below zero temps with windchills pushing -30. I live in Wisconsin and see no relief from this cold......I mean my truck sat in the garage for 2 days and nothing while driving it last nite in town doing errands, but then today, extremely cold...

Also if it's the bearing thingy, what is the cost at the garage approx?
Also how do i get to my bearing on this kia......Never had a 4x4 before and trying to save costs by doing this myself.....
Any help for a single mom would be very greatful.....
