Here's the problem. At 38 to 43 mph I get a slight vibration from the front end. I don't notice it in the steering wheel but more like in the floor board, gas pedal and seat area. Approximately 5,000 miles ago (currently at 99,000 miles) I performed my 1st full birf repack. The vibration started about 500 miles ago and upon noticing this I have had wheels balanced and rotated lubed all zerks and checked diff fluids to no avail.
So I tear back into the axle and immediately notice some odd discoloring of the outer ps wheel bearing(ds has same discoloring). It's only discolored on the inner part that contacts the spindle and only on half of it. The color is not blueish but more of a patchy darkish color. Grease looks fine as does the spindle as far as I can tell. Bearings were not loose nor was the hub hot after freeway driving. Have not tore in to the inner wheel bearings yet. Any help is mucho appreciated as my limited mechanical knowledge is used up.
Thnx in advance, Vince
