I just got my truck and I have a question about the hubs.
One of them is very easy to turn, it just snaps in and out of place. The other take a grunt or two to turn it.
Is this normal or is there a problem? I don't mind tearing them open and I should probably repack teh wheel bearings since I have no idea about mainetance the history. (actually, I think it had no maintenance) It has 130,000 miles.

At the top of this page there it a FSM for a 93. All the info you need for cleaning and the procedure for inspecting and the proper way they go to together is there. Use a liberal amount of grease on the hubs otherwise they will not work properly. I use a white lithimun based grease on the hubs. The procedure for packing the wheel bearings is also there.

cv boots look fine, I don't think this truck saw anything worse that a nasty farm road or two, the bottom is clean and scratchless.
