This happened on a drive from Oregon to California and I want to confirm what it is because I already have a hunch. The right front tire is negatively cambered (top towards the body) and clunks when braking into a turn. I have a hunch it is the trunnion bearing but hoping it isn't because it is a pain to replace and $100 for a knuckle service kit (goin on sale anytime soon mike?). It is weird because this job was done a little over a year ago by the P/O. Damn trunnion bearings

If it clunks like that then it's probably the trunions... On the brite side, it's probably not the housing, which is harder to fix.

sounds like the previous owner either didnt set up the knuckle bearing preload properly or used junk chinese bearings.
get some good Koyo parts from Marlin or AllPro. I'd use the Timken only as a "get me home" fix.

Do I need the whole knuckle service kit, or just the bearings? The axle is leaking pretty good under the ball joint. I don't run any parts from auto zone, my time is too valuable.

Get the whole kit and rebuild the knuckles.
