Hey everyone... my truck has developed a horrible shake between 30-50mph. On a normal vehicle I would know that it either would be the ball joints, tie rod ends or bushings, but on these solid axles, I am kinda lost. I can grab the right front wheel and there is no movement side to side, but I do have a bunch of movement if I grab the tire on the top and bottom. What ya'll think I am going to need to change. BTW - the axle also leakes outta the right front side, so am I just screwed and will need to rebuild the axle, or is there something I can just repair to get me a couple of more months? I don't have the time or the money right now to do a rebuild, and have been just topping off the front differential once a week so nothing more gets damaged. Any help much appreciated.

 

bearings?

 

Sound like the knuckle bearings. You can pick up individual bearings if needed:
