Boy, do I feel stupid...

[Rookie]

After all the whinning and moaning about the squeak I was getting from the drivers side front...and changing the urethane bushings back out for the rubber ones and greasing the springs and stuff turns out it was the upper ball joint.

We were doing brakes and a bearing repack and when my bil went to crack the hub nut loose on the drivers side, he picked up the entire hub. It looked like it moved a half inch. Couldn't believe it. With all the messing around with the bushings/springs and rotating the tires and such, we never noticed the ball joints were loose.

So...I've got new pads up front, repacked bearings and new upper and lower ball joints.

And

the squeak is gone...

It's amazing how that works...

So are you going to put the urethane bushings back in?

Well....they hadn't come out yet . I've been badgering my bil (he owns a service station) to pull the spring packs again to change them. We do the maintenance and stuff on sundays when it's slow and we squeeze it in between the rest of the families oil changes and stuff. So it was waiting for good time to do it.
He isn't a big fan of the TTB system and bending and tweaking it all back together again didn't help his disposition.
I try to help but I mostly sit back and -popcorn .

Actually I think they went in pretty easy. Pulling the spring pack out and doing them on the floor was the way to go but I think he was waiting for me to give up and accept the squeak.
