I put a new axle in after failing to get the old c/v joint apart to get the new boot on . It was only 30 buck mor than the 30 dollar boot . I did notice that the upper ball joint needs replaced but didn't have time for it . Maybe after my checking account has had a time to heal .Previously HoosierL98GTA

It's amazing those bearing sets last as long as they do, especially with heavier/bigger-offset tires, they can loosen up a little over time but when they really start to go, they go fast. In Jeeps (2/3rds the weight of the Sub or less) they seem to be good for about 200K, then watch out. You might wanna pick a weekend to do a pre-emptive on the other side...? You can feel when they're getting worn just by giving a good shake. Parts are pricey but less than the tow......

Getting heavy tires in a high rig... Roll it.. Lift and roll.. Roll it right up the bumper..
Derby tires are doubled and tubed and many times have a 3/8" center welded in.. Usually roll them onto the trailer then over the tongue..

This is a little tongue in cheek but it did take awhile to pull it off and it did require a lot of skill to not render the button useless . I rebuilt the volume button on the stereo . The whole front part of the rectangular button was gone only leaving the outer edge . I got some model car glue and slowly filled it in .Previously HoosierL98GTA
