[QUOTE="Kevin Palmer, post: 748863, member: 54263"] Clearly, something is wrong... Being that you have a 2 wheel drive you do have spindles. As Todd pointed out, it could be one of a few things. One suggestion, go buy new bearings, remove your wheels and rotors, clean the spindle off and see how the race of the new bearings feel when you slide them onto the spindle. They should slide on and have no play when in place and yet be able to remove them with the use of no tools. If you can get the race to wobble or you have to use a hammer to tap them in to place or remove them from the spindle, then either the bearing races are wrong, (maybe there is a difference between Job 1 and Job 2 for example) and or the spindles are damaged, worn or were built defective...
