Put all new Brakes on the Truck tonight..But only come to find out I need a New Driver side Wheel Bearing!!! I swear if it's not one thing it's another.

Has anyone had any experience with replacing the wheel bearing, and how safe is it for me to be driving with it for how it is (The wheel easily moves back and forth when jacked up)

Besides running the risk of losing a wheel it's perfectly safe

So maybe going to Uhwarrie National Forest this weekend isn't a good idea lol.

I knew that could happen, but i'm just making sure it would be safe enough till next week.

they're like a 100 bucks a piece and they take no time to replace. Also get some cragar soft 8's!!!! and a custom bumper/brush guard would look pretty sweet.

Yeah, I found a post on here that shows where to get them for $50 from a company called Detroit Axles, or something like that. So i'll be getting two next week and just replacing both front Wheel Bearings.

I bought some rims and tires this past week, the rims looked almost exactly like the Crager's, but of course, they don't fit!! The guy said they came off of his Blazer..They don't fit mine though. Here is a quick pic of what it looks like now with the Tires.

Yesterday after I put the new Brakes on..THe new tires make it look so much better!!!
