my guess would be the wheel spindle nut that holds the bearings tight
to the hub. you'll probably want to at least repack if not replace
the wheel bearings and make sure that nut is giving you the right
amount of endfloat in your hub. if the bearings have too much play,
they will only fail earlier than you want.
