yea but heres the weird part, the grinding noise doesnt come from the wheel, it comes from the center. Almost feels like somthing not alligned and its a metal to metal grind..  im soo lost, and the vibrations now, i dont understand whats causing those..

If it wiggles side to side only, it's usually a tierod end. Up and down and it could be the ball joint. Rocking it in any direction and you have a bad bearing. That coupled with your grinding noises makes me think it's the bearing. A bad CV joint will grind and click but won't cause the wheel to rock as is the case here.

My LCA's were recently replaced not too long ago so I have new ball joints and what not..tie-rods according to elky at the time seemed fine so im pretty sure it must be the wheel bearing..

Hate to be the one bearing you bad news (bad pun). NAPA has them in stock, SKF FW177 for $44.40. But you gotta find someone to press it in. In that how-to thread, you can buy the whole assembly for $160.00. I dunno if that'd be cheaper than having someone press it in for you. I'd be willing to do the work for free but the drive may not be worth it.

A bearing press. It's a real tight fit so trying to hammer it in isn't a good idea

I haven't gotten that far yet Mr. hard core cger. Ask me after I've received the goods. I suggest you post your comments in the proper section and stay on topic here.
