OMG my car sounds like wood chipper! Its making popping a screeching noises. Im afraid my other tires is going to lock up and/or just bust off.
Ive never heard a car make such noises in my life. Makes spun bearings sound good...
And Im stuck at work...

Great scott! Is it just a noise or can you feel it when you're driving too? Can you tell what side it's coming from?

Well since they have been going bad they make a growling noise thats steady. In turns the pitch of the noise changes.
Well I changed the drivers last night as my Uncle though that was the bad one. which I think it was abd, but the Passenger side is obviously MUCH worse.
My car is making death noises. Its loud as hell. When i was pulling out of McDonalds people were looking...

Ok, well my Uncle came up to my work with a jack and a replacement SKF Bearing.
The Passenger side was shot to hell. There was parts of the rubber SEAL coming up/out past the steel shield. THe whole tire mounted solid to the hub could be moved around when it was jacke dup off the ground.
I got the bearing off and replaced outside in the cold in about 45 minutes or less...lol
I was shocked to hell how bad the damned thing felt. It was horrible.
The up side is my car is very smooth and quiet. Down side is I dumped $250 into it this week for repairs and still have an F'ed up window regulator!

Well once again one or maybe both bearings went out. TO recap these were cheap chinese made replacement from E Bay for about $100 for both shipped.
I would avoid these. One failed in about a month. Now 6 months later somethings afoot.
Today I went on the hunt. When it comes to tapered roller bearings there is two BIG names, Timken and SKF.
Advanced Auto only carries no named Chinese ones. Dont bother with them!
O'Reily's/Murray's carries SKF hubs- and its cheaper than most other retail ones @ $115.99 THis is a 2 year warranty also.
Included with the hub was an updated spindle nut! And the proper torque specs!
I will attach pics soon!

most likely.
if you had your bearing factory replaced, i'd suggest taking the wheel off and backing that nut off a little. there definitely isn't a reason to have it 250ft/lbs tight.
also... ryan, any chance you can start a new "HOW TO" thread for that middle page information. hopefully get a sticky on it. seems like thats a genuine fix for a common issue. MANY can benefit from that kinda info.
lastly.. i see rockauto has the bearing assembly... anyone know where i can get ONLY the new nut?

GM has the nut...
Call the dealer.
Parts America, Checker, O'Reily's, Murray's, Advance Auto, etc.
Just tell them your looking for an axle nut and look at the computer screen. SHould show an updated one. Raybestos makes one!
