Clunking sound from steering shaft in column, clunking bumping looseness in steering hydraulic slave cylinder at all speeds. This seems to cause the truck to wander at highway speed, symptoms are worse when high winds are encountered.

2006 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup truck. Front wheel bearing assembly on both driver and passenger side failure. The wheel bearing hub assembly failure causes the vehicle to loose driving ability while driving. The wheels will start shaking causing operating the vehicle impossible. GMC has a problem with front wheel bearing assemblies on their pickup trucks. Replaced hub assembly with new parts by a GM certified mechanic. GM mechanic stated that they have replaced many GMC and Chevy hub assemblies on trucks due to part failure.
