Re: which do you use for Front Bearing hubs?
i dont think it is a milage thing really, just more of a wear and tear type thing.
jack the front end up and shake the living crap out of the tire. if you get any movement up and down, then the bearings are going out on it, which will in turn cause uneven wear on tires and your brakes and rotors. the quickest way i found is basically lifting the tire from the bottom. since you wont get any movement down because gravity is pulling the tire down.. all you really have to do is see if you get movement when you lift the tire up. but you can still grab the tire by the 12 oclock and 6 oclock and shake it like a 3 year old.
i dont have alot of movement (to me) but maybe to others. i have been waiting for the weather to get warmer to start working on the front end.
i have some Fabtech tie rods
ill put some new brake pads on at the same time
and while im there, figure i would do the hubs as well.
almost thinking of buying the cognito upper and lower arms and doing that at the same time too.. or maybe some new shocks...
its going to be a long day regardless
