    Mm how much would you guys say a shop would charge to change front wheel bearings (think that's what they are), and I guess lower balljoints cause you know.

    Change the LBJs yourself it's pretty easy....then take the spindle into a machine shop and have them press out/in your new bearings....save yourself some $$$$$

    Take your spindles off yourselve and youll save 6-700 in man hours. I found a machine shop that pressed my bearings in for 600 with Parts included. Do the ball joints your self. Super easy

    ^edit: he beat me to it

    What makes you think the wheel bearings are bad? 1st gens have massive WBs and are not prone to fail. Both going bad is even more rare.

    If a shop has a strong enough press, the fee should not be more than $75 per side.

    $600 and you did the spindle removal and install? You got bent over.

    You can get WBs for less than $100 each with seal.

    I forgot I got a new hub assembly for one side so that added a little more to my price but you might be right maybe I did :boom:.Idk I got turned away by every other shop around. And the stealership wanted even more. And all they do is give it to a local machine shop to do, so I just tried to cut out the middle man. Oh well whats done is done. Hopefully I never have to do it again.

    Just seems like there's a constant hum, kinda hard to explain.
    Don't they make a drop kit for those? Could be it now that I think about it more.
    Heck honestly it didn't look like it lowered it too much. Probably did though.
