Its possible for them to dry out, then the wheel bearing kicks the bed. I just changed one last year.

No just cause one went bad doesn't mean the other is. Just fix the current problem and go from there.

yea it makes the whoop whoop sound. if you turn the wheel to the left and then to the right (when your moving of course) you will feel it more so depending what side the bad one is.

It was painful noise coming out of the left side ... and it kept saying, whoop whoop every time the car moved.
