find a little something new every day...

So I'm sure most of you seen my recent post about wheel bearings. Today I jacked the truck back up for a little closer look and found out something kinda odd...

just watch the video, you'll see...

Yep, that's the CV turning while the hub's unlocked... er rather, suppose to be unlocked, but obviously the hub's not put together right...

I've been letting the hub dial thing go for a while cause I thought it was actually unlocking, but I guess I thought wrong obviously...

So it's torn the inner boot to peices as you can see, and I think I've finally found where my slight front end vibration is coming from.

I called up the dealership, and I'll be going to pick up the hub mounting gasket, the hub cover gasket, and the dial o-ring for both sides Saturday morning, $10 a side, so not too bad, so It looks like I'll get the hubs rebuilt and the bearings re-packed this weekend afterall
