My dumb a$$ didnt put 2 and 2 together when i had to fill up brake fluid recently and when i braked sudden and hard why the truck got squirly...
when putting on the snow tires, i checked out the rear brakes by pulling the drums to find brake fluid absolutely covering the pass. side brakes. it was a more or less obvious fix, but what damage could i have dont to the outter axle brearing? i used a needle fitting to try to pump some grease back behind the seal, but im sure some brake fluid got back there.
how good are those seals? is this something that i need to immediatly get out there and pull the axle shaft? can i just pump more grease in there?
ive also noticed a hum that i couldnt isolate. i eliminated the front bearing play, and play in the u-joints, and about the only other thing i can think is that bearing...
