i just replaced both my front wheel bearings like 3-4 weeks ago and i noticed on our ride sunday that it seemed like something was popping in the front end...well i finally got around to checking it out and it seems like the left front bearing is gone again....am i correct or is there something else in that area that could make it feel bad....this p's me off to have it go out that quick....i am not that rough on it...

i may check into both of those ideas tomorrow..i took the wheels off,the shocks off and moved everything around and couldnt find anything else to be the problem...i will look into those ideas tomorrow when i get up and moving around....

i had to drive the old bearings out of both sides..i cleaned the knuckles up and had to drive the new ones back in..they just didnt fall in...i just dont know why they would go bad after just a short time....i went to the place where i got the Moose bearings from and asked him if i could get that set replaced and he basically told me no..i then proceeded to tell him i will never buy anything from his store again and would tell everyone i knew not to shop there...it might have been childish and done no good but it made me feel better....

thats what im saying railroader...but mine definitely seems like the bearing again...i may get some new ball joints and see if that helps it any...let me know how yours turns out....
