yeah you have to measure how much force you need to get the hub to move, chances are it is ok anyway

Post subject:  Re: pre load for the swivel hubs?
if its leaking oil the axle seals are leaking from loose bearings or dodgy bushings for th cv

if its grease the seals are stuffed or king pin bearings

naah she doesnt leak, i can see that the seal that goes around the moving ball is stuffed. i never really thought that the seal would seal that great anyways because of it being a moving thang, but if a seal on a alt shaft can stop oil leaving the pump into the alt i guess it should seal
