Good evening
my bj8 has scuttle shake, the wheels have a few broken spokes and are not true. ( 60 spoke chrome)
and the tires appear to be older than 7 years. The hubs have wear. I have replaced those items and I’m getting ready to install them. I’m thinking it would be prudent at minimum to clean and repack the wheel bearings and inspect the shim packs. The right front hub seems to have some backlash in it and spins very freely. I think these bearings may need to be replaced. I assume I will need to buy new grease cups , inner and outer bearings, a new grease seal and possibly replace the shims. Is moss a good resource for these items? Or perhaps someone can recommend a better avenue, perhaps timkin bearings? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
