Hit a bump going considerable speed ripping it on an on-ramp and thought I may have broke a wheel bearing due to awful road noise and feedback. Also had a lot of slack in the steering.

On initial investigation, all four bearings don't have any play in them , but the GTM steering couple was extremely loose. Tightened it down and all the slack is gone from the steering. I need to do more looking into the wheel bearings or suspension somehow.

Here she is after a test drive from the tightened steering couple.

^That sucks, several of my mods were paid for by people who have ran into me so there can be a silver lining

That looks really good John!

yes, but for some reason.... i am thinking the HR cant take the +15 offset like the DE. right now i am 9.5 +23 and i had a 5mm spacer on there and i rubbed, so i took them off well even with my new tires (255/40) when i hit a good dip i rub. i need to find someone local that has a 9.5 +15 with a 255/40 tire so i can test fit before i pull the trigger
