35in tyres and 4x4 action see the wheel bearings come lose all the time.

I used to adjust them after every couple of trips to ensure they didn't bugger up to early. Eveb new lock washers wouldn't stop them coming loose enough to cause issues.

Ask Screwy mentioned jack the front left end grab the wheel at 12 and 6 and see if it has any movement and if soo wheel bearings will need to be adjusted......if they are clicking it is time for new bearing as well.....
