    For what its worth, all the failed bearing threads Ive read on here, very few failed the push-pull test at 12 and 6 oclock. And most folks reported 'noises' going away after swapping in new bearings.

    It seems like the push-pull test is not a good way to test these trucks

    Good to know. I’m still looking into it. I found some play while holding the top of the knuckle today. I feel the play when transitioning from spinning the tire forward to backward and vice versa. The play is identical on each side and everything else feels tight. I’m not sure if this is the bearings or something else?
    Everything looks pretty unmoved when I look in that area. I could be missing it though. I haven’t heard the squeak for a few weeks now either.
