Did a fuel pressure test with a working gauge I rented from the auto parts store.
Jumped up to 60-61psi right away like its supposed to, leaked down to 0 in less than a minute. So, went to napa, and picked up a new pump.

Side note though, got the clear bumper lights in the mail today.
I did not get those cheesy smooth clear ones, I got the ones that clear but fluted like the OEM ones. 22 buckeroonies on ebay

Last time I had a wheel at that angle, it was my hub bearing - there wasn't a single bearing left in the housing. The 3 that were left in there when I pulled into work spilled out into the parking lot ... Worked all day, then me and the truck got a ride home from AAA.

Usually the hub bearing will give you some warning ... like your brakes going to the floor, requiring a few pumps to straighten the rotor back out again every time you stop, along with some evil crunching sounds.

Like someone mentioned .. could be as simple as an improperly torqued upper control arm bolt (camber adjustment). I've seen the upper arms break too ... at least up here where they rust away to nothing.
