Please let us know the results of your replacing the left hub/bearing. Hope that fixes the problem.

Well havent been able to work on replacing the hub yet. After tearing the ligament in my foot i was forced to just put the caliper and wheel on and temporarily drive short distances with my custom gas pedal hand control.
The new hub should be here on wednesday so since i am able to function a little better with my foot i will be attempting to swap it out, the hub not my foot.
Hopefully with some pb blaster the bolts will come loose easy enough.

Update to come by next weekend hopefully.

The hub replacement is a good thing anyway. Are you finding any rubbing/shiny spots anywhere around the wheel/caliper?
How old are the calipers? could one be sticking after applying the brake?

This thing sat for a couple years so i am thinking possible caliper or bracket not allowing proper sliding. When i got this last year i replaced rear brake system completely. Front i only did pads and rotors cause i wasnt prepared to have the brake lines snap and replaced. Now i will invest in that.
Like i said still worth the 500 bucks i paid for it
