[QUOTE="silvercoffin, post: 5588523, member: 3749"] [b]...[/b] Last time I didnt know one was bad until I was putting wheels on and noticeed that one actually wobbled about 1/2 inch and my brakes were getting screwed up on that side. I was still running 11s 1/4 miles with them like that. This time I noticed strange braking at the end of the strip. Like my anti loc brakes were engaging for no reason. I thought it just had something to do with running the et Streets but maybe it was the bearing. This time the wheel just moves ever so slightly when I tighten it down though....not wobbling like last time. I never noticed any noise...although I serously ignore noises because there have always been all sorts of them with every Mustang i have owned. In fact the noise I do notice seems to come from the front of the car. I hope I dont have wheel bearings going bad in the front. I always figured that was road noise and it did seem to get worse when I switched to the BFG Gforce tires. Thanks for the info.. The first thing my mechanic said he tried was checkign the torque and there was till play. I was wondering about the press because the mechanic who is installing my new trans said he had to do to a machine shop to get them pressed in. At the machine shop the guy said that one bearing spun in the hub and that I need a new hub on that side. ANOTHER $100 geeze my $450 or less to get the new trans and clutch installed is now closer to $1000 between bearings, hubs. the machine shop and labor. THIS sucks.
