In the process of replacing front end ball joints, bushings, etc. I discovered that the axle nut was finger tight. The cotter pin was still in place. The PO had this bearing replaced about 5 yrs ago. I had been feeling a soft 'bump', 'bump' in the steering wheel for awhile when correcting to the right at speed.
- Put it back together and tighten it?
- Remove the bearing and inspect the them and the knuckle?
- Something else?
