My drive tires.. are they legal?

Are Your Wheel Bearings Adjusted Properly?

I sent Mike an email with the original pictures. Hopefully he gets a chance to offer his opinion.

 

Yeah you guys with this wheel bearing thing don't get that the load placed on the spindle with a loose wheel bearing, the spindle will not last.

The above image is an illustration to do with cars, not trucks that have contact stress in the thousands of PSI under a load.

I've dealt with this problem many times, it always seems to turn out to be one or two shocks on the truck that are bad that get passed the "feel them" inspection.

This is the truth - if they were loose, they would be very hot.

With a rear independent suspension, it isn't loose bearings that are an issue, it is the springs and shocks that are beaten to death from corning. I had a Triumph when I was over in England and I was warned not to take corners too hard on it because it would end up having improper tire angle and took care of the car by driving it sanely while others would do a track day and their cars would have tire and suspension issues.

 

NO you are not listening. you replace ALL of your shocks and then have an all axle alignment done.

 

Looks like Goodyear drives. I've never had any good luck out of any of their truck tires. Surprised they haven't rock drilled themselves into oblivion yet.

 

The article I linked and screengrabbed actually has zero to do with cars. And if you read the link you will see they are in fact speaking about a few thousandth’s of an inch, they’re not talking about being loose to the point of destroying everything.
