Sup brotha? I got her running smooth and sweet, like honey on toast >. She has an axle thump though, so I haven't been driving her. I'm going to fix it this weekend, then I'll be driving her! How are those bearing working out on your truck?

Sounds great! What do you think the thumping is, outer bearings? Hope it is not in the pumpkin!

The truck is good, I put rear out-put shaft bearing in the transfer case. The hardest part is yet to come...the hunt for the title...

I don't truly know. It's i the front, on the drivers side. I did the bearings once already... Whatever it is, I hope it doesn't become a money pit

Hunting for a title, you say? Wow! I wish you all the best in THAT endeavor! Is it missing? No title to begin with?

Well the guy who I bought it from delivered it while I was out of town. There is 135 year old church across the street from my house in NM and they never have services except they did on that day and there were lots of cars. The person who was at my house told him told him to come back in an hour (he came from two hours away). But he was all macho and pissed off (he had a motorcycle accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the waist down) and so he decided to drop it off with all the cars there and he ran over a big lump of concrete and it ripped out the hydraulics in his trailer. After he dropped the truck he left in a huff...I guess it was my fault he was impatient...

Anyways, when you say in the front, do you mean "of the car" or "of the rear axel"? Sometimes the sounds seem to come from where they are not...maybe if it if the front wheel bearing you just replaced it just needs to be retightened...

That guy was just being a complete jerk...

The front of the car. There is no doubt. I have second and third opinions, and I can see the wheel pop in a half-inch at the top every time it thumps o_O I appreciate your ideas!

First try the obvious if you haven't ... I have had tire and rims that do something similar.

Or is the hub bent? I don't know much about though cars but the hub is cast, right so I doubt it is bent...the spindle wouldn't act like that so the only possiblities are: bearings, hub, rim, tire or very unlikely the rotor.

Hate to ask...but did it thump before the bearings?

Not the tire and rim... They're strait I checked. That was actually my first thought.

Hub and rotor are one piece. And it didn't do it before the bearing change...I also changed the rotors too. Would a bent oil-seal do it? I'll be ripping it all apart tuesday, so I guess we'll see whats outta whack

Ah, then I would say either the bearings are faulty or the hub is faulty...did you get the parts at parts store or an advance auto/pep boys (fast food parts)? I have gotten part like these that are bad out of the box...and if th hub is bad you will now have to get new races for your bearings - grrrrr

Double check that the races are seated...but it really sounds like the spindle hole is off center, if that is so, yikes!!! that makes me scared of every part I buy!

Oh, no way the seal would make the hub wobble it would just break apart and some of the grease would spray out with centrifical force.
