I sure will thanks I will post after I finish.

Ok thanks I will check in the morning when I pull the wheels back off.

My truck is a 2001 7.3 4x4 with stock wheels. I know that doesn't help but I am not sure and feel like a idiot but I don't know. Like you said it might not be centered maybe. It's raining and I have no where to go tommorow morning I'm gonna pull the wheels and see. Not sure what to look...

The bearings and studs are all new. New rotors new brake pads even the u joints and axle shafts are new. I may take the wheels off because now I have a decent vibration I didn't have yesterday. I did have the lug nuts torqued to 110 ft/lbs till I found they needed to be more so now they are...

No sir everything is new. I tightened the studs by double nuts no lock tight but they are tight. I pulled the front wheels off this morning and Re torqued the nuts to 133 ft/lbs and the lug nuts to 150 ft/lbs. Now I have a vibration between 55-65 mph. Didn't vibrate till I Re torqued...

No sir I didnt, was told it wasn't needed. Hopefully that won't become a issue.

Hey guys I finished working on my truck. Replaced the front hub assembly on both sides as well as new stubby axle shafts new seals thrust washer's and brakes. Anyway in my buddies manual it says torque the 4 nuts that hold the bearing assembly to the nuckle to 55 lb/ft. That sounds low to...

When it leaks does it run down the oil pan? I'm doing some work too my truck and passenger side of oil pan is covered in oil. Truck has 275,000 miles.

Not sure haven't pulled the axle yet. Hopefully my problem is the bearing. With the hubs unlocked you couldn't drive past 30-35 without alot of vibration somewhere in the front end. Nothing feels loose and the tire would turn easy. I have parts for both sides. New bearings stubby axle shafts...

I have new axle shafts to put in.

What do you guys think does it look bad?

Still have to pull the axle

I have a 3 ton floor jack and some 6 ton jack stands. I'm just gonna have one side up at a time. Not sure how long it will take I will do a little at a time. Hopefully not more than a couple days per side. I will keep you guys posted on my progress which will be slow

Thanks guys I have new bearings for both sides plus new outer axle shafts with new seals and u joints as well. Just getting some other things together and hope to be trying to change things out. I'm no mechanic but gonna wing it and see if I can get it done.

Its in 2wd. Having the hubs locked makes the axles turn. Test drove it with them unlocked and it was bad couldn't drive more than 20mph. So I locked them back and now it does it with them locked and makes a grinding sound. Truck is now broke in driveway

You guys know of any videos on these procedures? Mine is rusting also and I don't have any kind of paint spray stuff. I have a couple rust spots I was gonna just sand down hit with som e primer and white paint. The spots are on the roof of the truck.

Well I found out that my locking hubs are bad. They won't unlock so I swapped them out with another set and the these unlocked and now the axles shafts don't turn. Well didn't turn for to long. As soon as I hit a small bump the front end would vibrate and sound bad and this was at 35mph...

Sorry guys truck is a 01 f250 7.3 4x4 with 274,000. It has 285/75r16 tires and is mostly stock. I don't go off road or anything. The tires are firestones but I plan on getting new ones soon hopefully. I have new shocks for it also. I tried greasing everything up front as well. I just need...

Thanks for replying guys. I'm new to a 4x4. I bought the truck about 14 months ago and the front locking hubs have been engaged. Now I have tried unlocking them but you can't get far without the front making really bad noises and vibratings. As long as they are locked I'm good. Now I...
