$160 Screw Up!!!
 
So my left front hub is going out, and since I was in a town where they had a dealer, I picked one up ($450). I get back home and said, wait a second, I may want to see if a parts store has one. Sure as pooh, they list them, and they even had one on the shelf for $290!!!. :argh::argh:

Well, the rotor came off easy, helped that I had an 8" 3 jaw puller :D. Now I got to go and chase a socket for the axle nut. :s:

Well they got to somehow make money to help cover warranty work. :humm:

On the plus side, my death wobble is almost nill. :jump:

I tried really hard to hit rough spots coming onto on off of bridges, and the wheel turned a little bit, but it didn't start shaking the entire truck like it did. :yeah:
