    Rear axle seal replacement

    When you jack up the suspected wheel, try to rock the wheel up and down on the spindle. If you feel movement it's probally shot. After dissembly wash the bearings in solvent.

    New to the SS!! I MUST have power steering!!

    Before you spend that kind of money. Make sure all the kingpins and tie rod ends are greased. If you have a bad u-joint in the knuckle it will also be hard to steer. After installing lockout hubs i can steer my truck with one hand. Ask Desert Rat, He has driven it.
