As some of you know i just did wheel bearings. Ball joints. Spindle bearings. Some seals. Got some 31s mounted but not balanced. I just took it for a test drive. It is 100x more responsive. Still a little skiddish driving it as its my first time doing front end work. Did some full circles with hard braking and acceleration in both directions. Straight line acceleration and deceleration. No weird noises except my drive line. Brakes are still weird because rear shoes are toast.

Gonna drive it across town tomorrow to do a job. What should I check when I get back? I know to retorque the lug nuts and figured id check on my pinion lock nuts and brakes.

Also these tires didn't need balancing! !! :yahoo: no vibrations at all

Steering wheel is sill crooked so it needs some type of alignment.

Overall it drives 100x better and looks 100x better
 
Congrats on a big job working out, tires not needing balancing thats rare only happened to me once and I have changed alot of tires, just drive it a bit the just kind of go back look things over and get an alignment, feels good don't it!!!
 
You should probably take it to a tune up station.
