    Well, put on another hub on the P/S and going to have the motor and tranny mounts installed tomorrow. Motor mount is torn/trashed and the tranny mount isn't far behind. Axles checked out good. I've always thought that there had to be play when you shake the wheel to mean the hub's bad (besides the lights), but that wasn't the case here. You learn something new everyday. Annoying orange dash lights are now off and that's a blessing in itself...lol. $38 to diagnose and that goes toward the repairs, so not too shabby. Thanks for your help...Nancy

    When you replaced the hubs, did you do it yourself? If so, did you torque the axle nut to the proper spec? I've seen people just tighten the nut "as hard as they could" and call it done just to have the hub go bad again shortly thereafter. Turns out they did not check it w/ a torque wrench and it was way too loose. Just a thought.

    I have a guy that helps me out on repairs that I don't choose to do myself and no, he didn't use a torque wrench. He did take a 6' breaker bar to it to tighten it, but I agree that that might be the reason for the hub going bad. Everything is done now, torqued up to specs, 4 wheel alignment, tires rebalanced and rotated, motor and tranny mounts put on, o2 sensor's in, and NO LIGHTS!!! One more project and that's a small leak in the exhaust, probably the downpipe, but at least there's 3 paydays in April!
