The bearings were replaced exactly a year ago by the Dealer when I bought it. Would you think that they were bad already?
No I'm stock height and alignment was good. I put on sleeves last week and aligned it again Saturday.
I don't know about this running 4wd drive down a track lolrunning 4wd down that torn up track at the sand drags last weekend can take a weak bearing and kill it in a hurry, as well as many other parts. your best bet is to get under that thing and check everything for play as if the truck was new to you. you would be surprised what parts go out from that stuff regardless of how new they were
. But I did play around with the front tires when I put the sleeves on and it didn't feel any play at the time.
It was already making the noise before hand but probably wasn't the smartest to run the truck but it didn't get any worse. Also for what it's worth my transfer case was pulled and a pump rub/seal kit was installed by Copperhead a month ago or so.
Hmm interesting that's where I feel it. Oddly I feel it in my left foot the most for what that's worth.
I'm going to look at it, in the hobby shop. What should I look at to determine if the ball joints are bad? Also I'll post pictures of my front end if I can't figure it out.
No I know which one you're talking about and my truck has done that from day one.
