Guys,

I know most of you probably do this, but it has diagnosed more than one problem for me. If you are having problems with a vibration, or pulling and suspect bearings or brakes, feel the hubs after driving a while. They should be about the same temperature front to front, and back to back as the other side. Years ago, I was with my dad and he was going to check out a job site. It had been raining a lot and we drove through some deep water in his old F150. A little later I had to take a leak, so he pulled off onto a side road. I didn't much like that truck, so while I was peeing I peed on the back wheel in subtle defiance. When I did, it sizzled. It was hot as hell. He told me to adjust the side mirror to keep an eye on it, and we made it to within about a mile of home before it started smoking. Ever since then, I check my hubs from time to time. Just food for thought.
