Hi everyone,

Nick and the guys at Applied have that noise in my front left figured
out. It's the wallace bearing on that side. When the load get's light,
the bearings get loose and the wheel moves a bit.

I'm not ready to buy new front hubs, bearings, knuckles etc. What can I
do to re-hab these wallaces for a bit longer? Can I shim them or something?

Are there any gurus on these around? I don't have a lot or experience
with bearings since my Street Stock days on the dirt track and that was
just to keep repacking the camaro pronts since we'd hit each other so
hard. It's also possible that my brain is loose from that.
