Trunion Bearing Test?
« on: Jun 01, 2011, 07:37:50 PM »
I think my driver side trunions may be bad. When going down the road, i can see my tire is not rotating perfectly straight when going under 40 mph. My tires are boggers, so they have some "wobble" between 30 and 40 mph, but nothing crazy. Any way to know for sure if the trunion bearing are good or bad? Thanks

WEll if you take the knuckle off and the bearing falls apart, its bad usually that happens when they go bad.
