[Shotimes] Wheel Bearings & Tie Rods

[Ian Fisher]

If it rocks in any direction it could be a wheel bearing, not just up
and down.

Wheel bearings are approximately $33.85 a piece at
www.shonutperformance.com. How did he show you movement? If it rocks up
and down, it is bearings. If it rocks back and forth, it is tie rods.

If you do wheel bearings, you have to pull the knuckles off. Make sure
to replace all the fasteners with new ones, especially the hub nut.
