when you wiggle the tire put one hand on top of the tire and one on the bottom instead of right to left. it will most likely be the front, and if your car quiets down turning left then it's the drivers side, if your car quiets down turning right then it's the passenger's side. typically. obviously thou if it wiggles top to bottom then you've found it.

 

thanks!

 

not really

I had a Silverado a few weeks ago with two bad front hubs at 28k miles. He was complaining of a noise in the LF area of the truck with the window down. After I put it up on the lift I managed to wiggle the crap out of that hub and a little bit out of the RF hub.

 

changed mine on sat. and she's back to purrrrrin

32 mm axle nut btw.

 

32mm is the exact size? btw to anyone that cares 32mm is 1.259"

whats the torque?

 

Just took mine off on my SS/SC... easy as hell.

You just need a friend or something to hold the brakes while you go at it.

 

hackabuse-anyway you could do a step by step with pictures when you do this to your car to help out more members when we reach the point to change ours. It would really help. thanks

 

I think it worries him cuz he doesn't weigh enough to break it loose...

 

 

I'm 6'1... and 140lbs...

I don't wanna hear it.



...and an Impact Gun will simplify your life.

 

From Fr33k,

Here's the specs from GM. It's for the nut on the end of the axle shaft where it sticks through the front hub asm.

Tighten the wheel drive shaft nut (2) to 210 Nˇm (155 lb ft).

So no more guessing, we know the torque specs
