    Getting my bearings

    Rolling stock is on the right track. My Dodge van(now retired) I went thru about 4 or 5 inside bearings. Done all of the above and then someone in here mentioned his van did the same thing! SPINDLES!!! My spindles were 5-6 thou undersized---- wear. Replaced them and not a problem again!
