I notice a slight clunk in the rear end, especially in the right rear. I found that I have some vertical play that clunks, Seems to be coming from the hub area.
Wheel bearings? This is a stock 10 bolt. Thanks. |

Sounds like wheel bearings. If the clunk and play is strictly in--out then its just the normal C clip play. If there is any up -- down play its wheel bearing time.

No noise at all. I'm not sold that it's the bearings. But it sounds like that's the only possibility.
Both wheels do it, just a little worse on the right. I thought it was a bushing, but I couldn't see anything moving. |

Now that I think about it, I do have a noise. But I thought it was just the tires. It's probably the bearings.

I've noticed a little play even in good bearings. I replaced brings and some yukon axles last year and could still move it a little. Not as noticeable when everything is mounted up. It was either Timken or National bearings so unless they were bad from the start, driving is fine though.

I drove the car for about 45 minutes on the highway yesterday. I think they are making noise. I just thought the noise was the tires.
I'm just going to have a shop replace the bearings. Should they go through the rest of the axle? About how much should this cost? |

You should be able to see wear / pitting on the axles if they need to be replaced. And the cost will depend on the vendor / quality.
Thanks, Jason |
