Last year I had a the driver side rear ride height valve go bad. which pushed the the driver side up to max, Which made the front passenger side dive.
We were on route to a job and I needed to be there in the morning so I drove the coach that way 80 mi or so at highway speed.
Then replaced it before moving on.
Since then I'm hearing a rumbling on the front passenger side wheel and it pulls to that side.
Guessing I over stressed the wheel bearings.
I have the equipment to replace them just need the bearings.
Also going and replace the oil on both sides and tag while at it.
Anyone have input or experience with this?
Thanks all

Take a extendable magnet and insert into the hole and see if you have any metal shavings on the magnet when you take it out. Will probably have very small amount that would be normal. Also jack up the front and check for excessive movement on that wheel. If so the bearings are loose and or worn. If you are going to do the job don't forget the wheel seal, some special stemco tools for seating that seal.

Would be surprised if you didn't break a center, or end link on your front sway bar.
Next time you lose a ride height valve perform these steps.
Pull over and set the parking brake.
Using the HWH panel in manual mode get the coach as close to ride height.
Pull the fuse in the first bay labeled ride height. Coach will now stay at your manual height.
These IFS coaches are not designed to exceed 1/16 of an inch side to side in the front.
Would also be concerned with that tire. As the weight was shifted to that side.

So now looking for bearings and seal,The Holland manual says see OEM for bearings.
Guessing I'll call CC during the week.

The bearings would be over the counter at most bearing shops. The bearing ,race and seal will have a number on them.

The bearings are over the counter. Any automotive parts store will have them or you can go to a truck parts house. Pull the bearings and take them with you

Update
Today I had some time so drained and changed the oil in the tags and front.
I removed the oil level covers to drain the oil and check for metal everything looked great ,Including the front pass side.
So I got under and jacked up the wheel it spins like glass,Don't think I have a bearing issue.BUT the sway bar link on that side was broken off and luckily I had a spare. Need to go for a test run sometime soon,Not heading west for more 10 weeks.
