I didn’t do it today but I’ll post anyway. I had to replace my front passenger side hub assembly as we pulled into Vegas a couple weeks back. Now I started to hear a grinding sound that comes and goes on the same hub that I replaced in Vegas.
Also, since I upgraded my tires and installed some Old Man Emu coil shocks I’ve been getting a fault message about suspension special programs shutting off. Usually happens when I make semi-sharp turns even at slow speeds and when I hit 60+ mph. Anyone else had this problem? Thanks in advance.

So today I pulled both rear hub assemblies. They are ready to go to the machine shop on Monday for new bearings to be installed. One is really bad the other is just starting the downward slide. I found a snapped rear sway bar link while I was in there. I got that pulled apart. Also discovered I had a froze up left rear caliper and the pad was destroyed on that side. Just missed messing up the rotor so a little luck. I finished up a diff fluid change on the rear while I was there.
Chased down the coolant leak up front. I was feeling pretty good about my day even with the set backs, until I noticed the 07 was leaking oil. Looks like the oil cooler has sprung a leak on it. So tomorrow I will pull the one off my 06 to fix the 07 and order a new one to replace it.
So much fun....

Both huh! It was a pain when I pulled mine off but then again I had zero tools other than a framing hammer and a utility knife haha. I literally had to buy all the tools needed to do the job and I was parked at a parking directly under Vegas sun for 5 or so hours. So does it cost less to have the bearings replaced as opposed to replacing the whole hub assembly? I paid $180 for mine from Autozone but I could have gotten it for about $150 online if I would of had the time to wait for shipping.
