Hey guys and girls I've got a 89 wt Sierra and I have a rattling sound coming from the the front right side I'm not to sure if its bearings there only a couple of months old except the king pin bearings and they stuffed up a couple weeks ago so they'll be getting or should I look at the spigot bearing? Thrust bearing even or a rooted clutch?? I hope I can find some help all these noises are shitting me up the wall hahaha hope someone can shed some light on this thanks for reading and the help

if its the front right, I'd jack the whole front end up and check the wheel bearings. Wiggle the tyre from the top and bottom/push pull. You will then see if it is the kingpins again or wheel bearings. Both sides.

What size tyres/rim offset do you run?

[Daves4wd]

I have play from top to bottom I'm running 30s and not to shore about offset thanks for that I'm pull it apart and see what I can find

[BlueSuzy]

Ive had a kingpin collapse so the play was in the whole hub/knuckle assembly
Also loose wheel bearings was the norm for mine.

You definatly have something going on. There should be no play.

Yer it's not to bad just noisy lol nah I reckon my kingpins are shagged and stuffing up my wheel bearings or maybe something else I just ordered a swivel hub rebuild kit off egay hopefully get it next week and do it then cheers for the help buddy Apprectiate it alot

I think a part of my problem is my unis from the gearbox to tcase aswell there's little movement like 2 mm each way are all the unis the same?? Noob question I know but I'm just making sure thanks fr the help

[BlueSuzy]

you mean turning, 2mm backlash, or in the joint itself.

backlash is normal.

play in the joints are not.

[Daves4wd]

Play in the joints where the caps are backlash I'm not to fussed about lol

[BlueSuzy]

play in the joints is no good. replace asap.
