err - well I'm sure anything is possible - but at least on my truck's
knuckles, the pin can't hit the rotor - pins are shouldered to prevent
threading too far.
Bearings are a possibility - but they are newish bearing units and I
would hope they arn't going out yet. Keep in mind I was a bonehead and
drove around in 4wheel Hi for three days this past winter and didn't
know it. This is why I am focused on the front driveline. I replaced the
CV shafts and that was not the problem, but the shafts needed to e
replaced anyway so I don't consider that money wasted.
As for the brakes - I'm going to try bleeding a 2nd time. But I seem
have more pressing problems - since the truck was parked almost two
months ago - the engine has developed some other damned problem. Won't
stay at idle, dies, misses under load. If I can't keep it running then
all this other stuff is pointless. I really need a new steering gearbox
too.
GDMFPOS.
Also - when I was jacking the truck up, the floor jack went up into the
frame too. Frame is rotting in another place I had not known before.
