    Just a quick question anyone got any input on my idea of just unbolting the hub assemble from the upper and lower arms, strut bar, and tierod and undoing the brake caliper. Instead of tearing the whole assemble apart. I figured it could help with pullling the cv shaft out. Any input is more than welcome

    Sorry for the spam, but the guy in your sig is a damn idiot.
    Did you have the vibes that went away in 4WD? Did you have to take it and get the bushing pressed in?

    Yes it would growl and vibrate from 25 to 35 or 40 and sometimes higher speeds kind of depending on temp. Way worse when it was cold. Put it in 4 high and it went away. No sir you pull the driver side apart and pull the cv out to expose the needle bearings. Using the ecgs puller pull the needle bearing out. Then using a seal installer hammer the bushing in. Ecgs has a video on how to pull and replace it on there website.
