    Thanks. Looks like I might as well look into replacing the rear bearings. Shop said they were fine but I don’t know if I trust em.

    I'd been dealing with this for quite a while. Heard it mellow out in right turns on highway ramps. Threw a lot of money up front bearings, CVs, ecgs bushing....

    The bone yard diff was cheaper than the dealer replacing the bearing. The bearing and hub alone was almost $500.

    Aside from the brake fluid tube and ebrake cable, you don't have to take the brakes apart to pull the axle

    I bought a variety pack of different color vacuum caps. The white one in my pack fit the breaker line perfectly.

    The grill as a whole will Mount fine. Unless you plan on swapping out the inner part of grill then you may have to cut a tab or two. But generally most aftermarket grills and oem slap right together. Uhh $40?

    It's pretty easy honestly. Passenger side can be done in like 10 to 15 mins.
    Driver side is the same process just takes longer because of the brackets and hoses but for the most part you can just move a few out of the way to get them done.
    There's a write up on here. I'll link it if I can find it.

    Edit: Found the write up.
