    I feel like this has been mentioned before, but you guys race 1500 class? We just did silverstate in 5u. Sheared spindle at mm117, thankfully the Cobb bros (6066) ran a spindle out to the car and we were able to salvage a 2nd place. Our 1500 car hasn't been out in a minute though

    That's awesome on the 2nd place, I love those 5 cars!
    We've been running a 6100 for the last year truck but it wasn't ready. So we were asked to run that Class 1 car , we also ran that car at Parker 2 years.

    We picked it up as a roller from Jake's fabworks last year while our fusion 6100 truck was being built, but word on the street is he (brian I think?) bounced out of the deal. So still looking for a 6100. Haven't spoken with the owner in a minute but I think they were just going to pick up a used one and try to update as needed.

    Well took the passenger side rotor and caliper off to check the 4 bolts that hold the bearing/hub on.
    They were all tight.

    Is it possible for a bearing to go bad in only a few weeks?

    Dust shield looks out of the way and no rubbing noise when I jack the truck up and rotate the wheel.
    CVs also look in good shape.

    There is a hummm/growl when driving again.
    When the truck is jacked up there is some play when i grab the tire and wiggle left and right but not when I grab it from the top and bottom and wiggle it.

    Off-Road and occasionally on-road when I enter/leave drive way fast I got a poping sound from the passenger side.

    can't explain the howl noise.
    A buddy had a popping noise in that same exact situation and ended up being a bushing on his stock lower control arm on the passenger side. Plus his lower ball joints were worn which made it difficult to diagnose.

    LCA were replaced with TC LCA a few months ago.

    Just greased the bushings and have uniballs instead of ball joint for the LCA.
