Weather cooled off a bit so I decided to tackle my bearings. I was pretty sure it was my front right bearing which was grinding. So I changed it out...took it for a drive and nope, the sound got a lil better but its still mostly there. Gonna swap out the front left in the next few days. Hopefully that takes care of it.

They actually are a little worn but not too bad. The noise is also not constant...it goes with the tire revolution. Sounds like theres a bad spot on a bearing....whir whir whir whir kinda sound, but you cant hear it anymore once its over 25mph.

After having grinding issues, on front passenger side, I had parked my G for a few weeks. Last time I had done front bearings I noticed a RIP in cv boot and figured a new cv joint was needed..
I am trying to remove axle nut and axle is free spinning and I am at loss when my focus shifts back a little further and to the left and realize that the front drive shaft it not connect. The ears of the shaft look to have rusted away and u joint is flipping there.
I quickly look up replacement on local store internet site and realize I'm done for the day. $650 for a drive shaft. I'm glad i don't mind using Ebay. $78 , but a weeks wait. Grrrr.

Changed out the driver side front wheel bearing as well. Still the damn sound is there. Jacked up the rear end and spun the wheels and tried to locate the source but still no definite finding. Next step is to put different wheels on the car and drive around just to rule out abnormal tire wear.

Yeah I know what u guys are talking about but that has no effect on the sound when I try it. U cant hear it anymore above 25mph. More troubleshooting to come over the weekend. Highly doubt its winter wheels on there as its been a southern California car its whole life. How would I tell if I have winter wheels anyway?
On a side note...some of my bushings look like they could use a refresh. I'll probably do those when I install my camber arms.
