Yes, the front bearings have been on an every 30k mile service program since new, they are 20k since the last service.....
Frankly, I have some time and this will be among the last items on my list. Rear bearings have never been serviced, but seem fine so I will start with them.
Parts are stacking up and I need to create a more detailed work plan. My immediate goals:
- Take as is photos.
- Figure out "all rubber" approach to rear heater
- Drain coolant - radiator hose and block.
- Drain and fill transmission pan
- Disassemble rear heater valve, EGR, throttle body and IM
- Have IM cleaned professionally
- Remove starter
- Replace all transmission, cooling, heating hoses as well as vacuum lines.
- R&R rear bearings
Rotors were done at 154k miles, the fronts are suspect to me. There is a sort of depression in the left front uniformly 3/4" wide. Brakes are on the list, we have done the lines and fluid. Delaying a bit on pads and rotors.
