Hey man just sent you a PM, before I start on the left side bearing I want to be sure that my right side is still good.
I get steering wheel shakes on the highway most prevalent between 60-70 mph, no bearing noise however like I had before. And not under braking whatsoever, my front suspension is all new.
I think I always had the shakes up front but the combination of the bad bearing noise/vibration on that right side washed it out.
Now that its all quiet again I notice the shaking on the highway that is still present, albeit less than before I replaced the right side bearing. I'm thinking I need my wheel re-balanced but wanted to be sure the bearing I just installed isn't damaged, I supported the inner race on reinstall and hub was tight once I got the axle back on there.
As well, I want to point out that I haven't done the front left side as planned yet, and for all I know the shakes could be coming from the left side bearing that is "starting to go", from what I read on here bad wheel bearings will creep up over time, starting with vibrations and then making more and more noise as time goes on.
I put my aluminum hub rings on all 4 wheels the other night, cleaned the hubs and torqued all to 101 lb ft so that is good, but still getting noticeable steering wheel shake on the highway. I probably shouldn't be asking for advice before finishing the other side should I? LOL
