Its the same as if you had play in a ball joint.

Most likely you need bearings, but not knowing what kind of truck your talking about it's tough to say.

If it is a straight axle it could be; wheel bearings, trinion bearings, loose nuckle studs, or loose hub parts. Take it apart and find out the problem.

i just finsihed replacing my trunion bearings. its not a hard job its just kinda tedious. especially if you have a problem getting the cone washers off like me

but other wise just buy a rebuild kit from

and get to it! good luck

marlin sells a compleat kit to rebuild your nuckles without the wheel bearings it runs $75 and with wheel bearings its like $145? its a quality kit every thing you need to do both sides $Beer Chug\'n$

You can try calling parts houses and see if they have em, which I would bet they would atleast be able to order them.

im pretty sure marlins kit, even with shipping is cheaper than it would be to buy the rebuild kit front a dealer. and if you buy the rebuild kit you can replace all those worn out gaskets

i was originally gonna buy just the truinion bearings but it would be easier to buy the rebuild kit that way if you do find a bad gasket you have one you can replace it with.
