Got a pair of new tires, got the RDU fluid flushed, and got new coolant...But now it looks like my rear right wheel bearing is getting noisy and will have to replace it. Anyone have experience with doing this? I did a front wheel bearing replacement with my buddy and his F150 and it seemed pretty straight forward.

Yeah replacing the wheel bearing/hub assembly sucks. Just go right after it! PB blast the crap out of it. Don’t even waste your time...cut all the studs off, hammer them out. Buy some long bolts and nuts, use the bolts and nuts through the stud holes and press the hub right out by tightening the bolts.

Installed H&R springs today! Picture isn’t the best since I finished at 11pm.

Getting the first strut back in was total pia but the second one went in quick! I’ll probably cut the rear springs down next week.

Mine sits lower at the back, I suggest you drive it for at least a month before cutting them.

Ok. I am in the midwest, so I am assuming that the salt + rust is going to give me **** when I go to remove the damn thing. Alternatively, I could have my shop do it since they have to replace a lower control arm bushing on that wheel anyways. All together would be around $740 (wheel bearing + control arm bushing + alignment).

I'll give it a shot and if it doesn't work, I'll just take her in and drive my girlfriend's 2012 Jetta to work lol.

Thanks! I don't know if I'll be able to wait a month but we'll see.

@Jordan_R Those slicks look good in the in back! I guess you have to convert her to RWD now ;)

Incorrect or different rear shocks??
Assuming both are H&R's?

Super curious what mine is gonna look like now!

Nope, everything's stock, and went on the same way it was taken off and yes, they are h&r's

Still some factory rake even after the h&r springs in the rear. I bet even Roman has a tiny more wheel gap in the rear. Also Dadmobile has the thinner sidewall 35 tires so that also adds a little wheel gap. I cut my H&R in the rear and it looked much better after. I’d say still has a tiny bit of rake to it even after cutting them.
Yes I do have a tiny bit of rake in the rear, but im about 2 or 3 fingers deep in between the rear wheel to fender gap

Well, I finally broke down and got a meth kit, so that will be here next week.

Hey me too! I hope to install mine this weekend! Which kit? I went with the AEM V3.

Today, had the wheels aligned.

AND

Deleted the belly cat & mufflers . She sounds like rabid pack of Honda’s when cold but sounds mean AF soon after.

Here’s a clip of the sound.

I got a snow meth kit, nothing too fancy, I don't plan to run it with a big nozzle. Just enough for a little extra cooling/cleaning (at this point)
