Bad Axle Bearings?
Bad Axle Bearings? I did some searching, but didnt see the thing I noticed on mine today. The car has a shake or vibration that starts in about ~50 on up. So I pulled of the wheels, brakes, and rotors. Let the car spin the axles, and they appear to spin true. When I lift up and down on the axle to feel for play, I can BARELY feel any on the driver side, but the play is VERY noticeable and can be seen on the passenger side, the side the vibration comes from.
I ran out of daylight but I went ahead and picked up some new bearings so I can slap them in tomorrow. Anybody have any opinions? Or does this sound about right to yall?

There was a slight grinding noise, but there was play in the pass. side one, which was also where my vibration was coming from. It was bad. Ill get a pic of the axle posted up here in a minute. I used some of the axle saver bearings, which re-locates the rollers to an unused part of the axle, I dont expect them to last that long, and I read they wont either. So I just used them to hold me over till I order some Mosers, and then Ill do it all over again, wasnt that hard anyway. Car rides nice again in the meantime though.
