so, since i purchased this 60 i allways heard a kind of clunking noise. one day when i jacked it up i noticed i could move my wheel with my hand a good inch in any direction. so, i brought it down to my mechanics right quick and had him alleviate this problem. new bearings, seals, all that good stuff. i have it back and, well it's not so much a clunking i hear anymore. i could swear it's coming from the drivers front wheel (the one i just had worked on). makes the sound a loose hub cab would make, and at all speeds regardless of whether or not i'm turning or going straight. almost like a hopping alluminum can rolling down the street if that helps put a noise in your head. i degreased and pressure washed the piss out of the area yesterday as i've been needing to do that anyways to see if it's leaking anymore after the repair (had a good inch of caked on grease) and things seem to be in order. jacked up the car, really no play in either wheel.

i need bushings all over that side i'm waiting for my next check to get here so i can buy those. the years of grease ate through them like hotcakes. but, my logic tells me that would have nothing to do with this sound. I turned off the motor while driving to make sure it wasn't a loose pulley or anything, still there. any ideas?
