would a bad wheel bearing cause inside tire wear on front passenger side?

the rear window motor get power when u put switch in up position (even though all the way up) and none when clicked down. can the switch go bad on only one side?

A VERY bad wheel bearing could cause tire wear. re-snug the castle nut, I've seen this before where people think the bearing is bad, but it was just improperly torqued... Worst case throw in a new set of bearings and re-align the front end..

Its possible that the switch has gone bad, but it could be a multiple of things... If the rear wiper is on the window is disabled... Could be something related to that (Bad wiring...), also there are a few switches in the rear window mechanism that could be stuck or flaky...

I would try a new switch and go from there...

i am going to go put a new bearing and seals in, doesnt cost much and if thats not whats wrong there is something else very wrong.

how do i go about taking the old bearing out? i was told the axle had to come out is that true?

as far as the switch goes for the rear window, id imagine its something simple with the switch or the motor...... I mean hell, if it'll fight gravity up, why wont it ride with gravity down?
