Front wheel seals and bearings

[one_dusty_hoot]

"I heard that!" Howard, "Git er done"
3 of us were Northbound on I-75 when the front end
started doing the shimey, shimey, coco bop. Pulled
over, checked all tires, good?? Asked one of the
fellows to ease the coach along while I watched.
The right front wheel was doing S'es. Called a tow
in Valdosta, Ga, fellow said it was a shop job.
Here it is late Saturday after dark, wow! He cut
the inner race off with a torch, thought it was going
to take the hardness out of the axle. Sunday morning,
he called someone about 50 miles away who was up. Went
there got what he needed and we were on our way, lucky.
The wheel bearings had just been cleaned and packed?
Bad service? Fatigued bearing? Experience, yes! 77FC31

It was hardly noticeable but I called a friend of mine who has a
local truck shop. I've been down in my back and hurt it again last
week taking out the Sharp microvave. He pulled the wheel and checked
the bearing and it needed replacing. I had the seal replaced also.
He said he normally has to do this job on the side of the road. He
said it appeared to be the original bearing and Stemco seal. I had
him do the other side even though he said it was ok. I told him now
was the time not later on the side of the road. The oil level was
fine on both sides.
