well bearings are done and my noise is still with me and the bearings have nothing to do with the half shaft so i should have known better because they dont even make contact with each other. they needed changed anyway pretty easy job. next question is what does the half shaft ride on inside the spindle? didnt take that apart yet until i get the axle so i guess that will be next weekend project 4x4 still works so if it aint broke wheel thats what im going to do.
