Ok, so I went and did my brakes last night, put the powerslots and hawk pads
on... WOW. They stop much better now! So, I figured that as long as I had
the wheels off, I'd check everything out on the underside... Looks like
it's time for the driver's side wheel bearing now too! It's amazing that
neither bearing lasted me past 50K... pass one lasted until 40K and
driver's side lasted till 47K... At over $100 each this is getting old....
I don't understand why everything has to be a sealed unit... GRRR!!!! I
think it's "the curse" getting me again. Maybe I upset the spirits by
having sex in my truck so they decided to get me another way.
