so i just purchesed two timken wheel hub assemblys because on the way home from my trip to sc i started to hear sort of a droning noise coming from front end.
so i got off highway and turned left and right see if i could def pinpoint it was the bearings and indeed turning left made it worse but was loud going foward
so i said hmmmm
then i clicked i recently well not too recent changed my front struts. during that process i damaged bottom yolk bolt so in attempt to fix i was going to replace lower control arm. went to remove it got half way through and then got idea to just cut the bolt so i can attach the nut
reassembled it and never got an alignment.
wich led to my bad bearings so im replacing both sides. also notice bad outside wearing of driver side tire
First question
1: should i get an alignment before or after instalation of new hubs
2: i looked in repair manual and replacement of hubs on paper looks easy.
Is it indeed as easy? do all parts remove easy
what issues will i run into now that i have drove 1k plus miles with this drone.
any special tools
any walkthroughs on here i searched didnt notice any
3. the timkin found here is a legit timkin i hope?: Timken 513188 Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly : Amazon.com : Automotive
