Ya, well, I still did'nt get my bearings yet. I took my wheels in to make sure they are balanced. I got up to 45 mph one day, and the truck started shaking! It feels like there is resistance in the truck. Make any sense? Almost like lost a ball in the bearings or its grinding. Its weird...

BTW, you guys say I need my bearings pressed, for the innders. I've been told you don't need a press?

is the shaking coming from the front end or the back.....? if the front , go buy the bearings inner & outer....jack the truck up, pull the wheels, then remove the hubs, carry them to a local shop, i'm quite sure they'll have a press & be happy to press out the old bearings & press the new ones in for little of nothing....

if from the rear, you may need to check the carrier bearing on the driveshaft & makesure it's not gone.....also check the u-joints..

One other thing to check.I had an old REPU that did the same thing and we found that the steering sector where it bolts to the frame had worked loose. Check the bolts that hold ur steering to the frame and be sure they are tight. It prolly is bearings though.BJ

When I first drove it above 45 mph, it felt like it was only coming from the front driver side wheel. I think it feels like the front, not sure.

I'll get my front bearings done, and if they don't solve it, then I'll do the others.

Its gonna cost me $70 or $35 per set of bearings from Schucks! And e-bay did'nt have any...

When u take the retainer nut and washer loose and all the bearings fall out on the ground, then u will know for sure. Lol. BJ
