Im thinking the issue is more related on the brake drum side. That sound in the video in my 1st post, can be felt on my hand when I put my hand on the brake drum cover, with the wheel spinning.

Fortunately, a set of wheel bearings are pretty inexpensive.

Im looking for my snap ring pliers right now, so I can take a look at both sides bearing though.
Any particular brand recommended for the wheel bearing? I know on the brake shoe, OEM or Vesrah(spelling?) is recommended.
