    Yeah I ordered the axle seal to be safe might not need it. If anything becomes difficult I'll give you a heads up.

    I installed my new ECGS bushing two days ago. It most definitely tightened up the CV but im pretty sure I have at least one bad wheel bearing, which I have ordered but have not shipped yet, because I still have a growl coming from the front end. Install was simple and straight forward with the proper tools.

    Yes I installed a new seal. Probably didn't need to, but I did anyway since I purchased the new one with the bushing.

    Flush with the housing, and a 2" PVC coupler on a short length of 2" PVC pipe works perfectly and is an inexpensive driver.

    All is well Just got done installing the ECGS bushing. The rumbling and light vibration is completely gone. I'm very happy and well worth it. We followed the video on their website and had no problems. While removing the old needle bearing the inside edge cracked off but it still came right out. The tool worked just as described and we think it was a tad crooked when we started pulling it out is all. I have a pic if anyone wants to see. I'm back to completely loving my truck again! Big thanks to my friend for helping me out!

    Can anybody tell me why when I zip tie the front driveline it fixes the humming vibration? The noise also goes away when I put it in 4WD. But I can't figure out why when I ziptie the front drive shaft to the frame the noise completely goes away?
