the front wheel bearings today and installed a FRAM Air Hog Filter, same thing as the K&N filters....except K&N doesn't make a filter for my car. The wheel bearings weren't too bad, I had to rent a hub puller from Murray's, once I got that...everything went pretty smooth...well, not too smooth. The driver's side was the one I was getting noise from (from what I could tell), but decided to replace both at the same time. The driver's side one required LOTS of PB Blaster and lots of impact pounding to get the drive axle out of the wheel bearing....it didn't want to budge at all....it's like they didn't grease them at the factory. Put plenty of that in there so it doesn't happen again. I also got some Silicone grease from NAPA to grease the front caliper bracket bolt boots while I was in there....as I didn't do it when I changed the pads and rotors...I had some noise when I would brake before, now it's gone, as is the wheel bearing noise.
Now on the agenda:
1.) Replace all four struts/mounts (all stock struts right now, rear mounts are worn out...can hear them), rear tubular trailing arms and install strut bar.
2.) Replace the passenger compartment air filter, ordered a FRAM one along with the FRAM Air Hog filter.
3.) Grease the rear caliper boots, install stainless steel brake hoses (Goodridge), and bleed the system...put new fluid in.
3.) Install system.... 8) (need to fix the Bose indash CD player...it skips, so I've been using only the changer)
