    Tread depth is all the same on the drives and only a little off compared to the steers. No irregular wear or damage on any of them.

    on my current truck, all wheels are the same, so if Penske had to, they could put a drive tire on the front, and the steer on a drive, to eliminate bent wheel steering wheel vibrations (for testing)..are you able to swap out like that?

    The front wheels have been checked for true and nothing was found. I was told that even if an aluminum wheel can balance out doesn't mean it can't cause other vibrations after it's been dented. That's why I posted the picture. Seems like such a small dent to cause harmonic balancing issues but you never know I guess. I'm planning on pulling the front wheels off and throwing two drives on there to see how it feels tomorrow or later this evening is the rain stops long enough.

    Yes the one in the rears is also called a carrier bearing.

    That's your problem. Why did you rebush that junk suspension? The ag400 is much much better and a relatively easy and cheap swap in.

    I didn't know. I don't care for the 8 bag setup either. Vibration was there before the rebushing anyway. It's got to be a wheel, differential or axle. Everything else has been gone over in some form or another.

    The AG 200 is the one that you can convert to the 400,not the 100.
