Hi,
I'm trying to track down slop in my front end, and I think I've found the culprit. On both front wheels, if I grab the top and bottom (while the axle is jacked up), I can wiggle the wheel back and forth slightly, hearing a clunk when I do. The ball joints aren't giving (the knuckle doesn't move), but rather the stub axle wiggles within the knuckle. That has to mean it's hub replacement time, right?
Any super secret squirrel source for those cheap, besides Ebay?
Thanks,
Ben
