Now Tom, you have to 'fess up that you have the NAPA NASCAR pit crew at your disposal for diff swaps, bumper installs and minor things like tire rotations. I hate to let the cat out of the bag but it's time to let everyone in on your secret

That noise you describe is very much like mine when one of them went bad. Kinda sounded like tread noise but it wouldn't go away when I rotated the tires like had happened previously. For some reason the sound didn't change when I went around corners but I finally figured it had to be a bearing. Ended up changing out both sides at the same time with Timkens. Sure enough the sound went away.
On my Commander the right front bearing was making noise but only on left turns. Similar sound as the KJ but instead of being consistent it was during turns only. Funny how the same part can show symptoms so differently from one vehicle to the next :emotions34:

Now Bob, you are fully aware that the papers you signed the very first time you stepped into Mudd's Garage, stated that you would never under any circumstances divulge the inner workings at Mudd's , that includes how or who does the work. :icon_razz:I'll let ya slide this time , but next time I'll be calling my Lawyer Saul Goodman !:gr_grin::gr_grin::happy175:

Dangit! Forgot about that non-disclosure I signed. Course the 'refreshments' you served at my first visit to Mudd's may have fogged my memory :happy175:
Is Saul still at Dewey, Cheetham & Howe??? :gr_grin:
Bob
Ah yes, the "refreshments" .....:emotions34::happy175:

They last ten years ? :icon_razz:
I guess i'm jacking the front end up again and yanking things around to see if I feel the appropriate sloppiness.
also, any links to the preferred bearings?

When I had mine apart recently doing the right side cv and intermediate shaft the bearing felt smooth but sounded dry. It still has no play in it, but makes same noise as described when driving. I have a pair of timkens on order now. We'll see what happens.

Washed the exterior/interior. Replaced the 11 year old fog light housings. The new ones are nice and clean and the led bulbs in them are crisp.

Get Timkin or SKF, I think SKF is OEM. Left/right are the same.
Today: went and got Christmas tree #1 with the KL. One of the local places that sells trees actually grows them and they get a few "wild" trees every year that kind of look like Charlie Brown trees and we love them. They had 8 to start today and had 2 left after we left.

Last live tree I had was in 1977, dang thing died ( had root ball to plant ) had to go buy green spray paint
I've been getting them for about the past 10 or so, even in FL. Just fun to get. Usually put them up now and then run them to the burnpile long about late January.
My first wife and I always had live tress that were dug up to replant
Everytime I go past my old farm I see 6 nice big pines.......... and her current husband .............:happy175:
