Lol.
The Subaru wheel bearing I just replaced right side made the classic growling sounds at speed and with wheel turn at speed. The wheel bearing on the other side changed a few months ago was just completely fucked and it was almost silent. Just vibration and huge 12/6 movement. It was on the side my stepson smacked with a barrier wall and it failed shortly thereafter or at the time but went undetected for a bit...I was stunned at how quiet it was when it went to hell. Lesson learned. They can have a stealth silent death that shows up with vibration and wheel play.

Yeah, I've seen a wheel bearing that had so much play it destroyed the abs sensor and tone ring, and you could feel it move while driving, but it didn't really make any noise. Also just changed one that was really really loud but turned fairly well by hand and had no play. Think the latter one was due to the last person getting a little overboard tightening the axle nut. To spec (there are 3-4 different ones depending on the type/location/bolt pattern, with the wheel off the ground, with a new nut, is important.

My money is on both wheel bearing and CV. Both known issue / wear items, and both cheap on Subes. Getting the knuckle off can be a little annoying, I'd just do both and call it a day.
The LCA can move around at full droop if a bushing is destroyed badly enough.

Ack, my bad, misread somewhere. NVH diag commonalities still apply.

Nice work! I'm always impressed with your car skills, ugly. You've inspired me a lot to keep on keeping on with my old rides, which has saved me a TON of money. You're also giving me inspiration to maybe pick up a very used hybrid someday since you've proven time and time again you can wrench on those too.

Thanks MF! I'm a total hack but given enough time it is fun to figure stuff out and get through projects. Our 4 vehicles have 670k miles between them and it is in my family gene pool to keep stuff running until it is dust. I have second cousins (my dad's brothers kids) and I literally have nothing else in common with except really terrible hand writing and driving cars for as long as possible and keeping them running well while doing so.
It goes without saying that Basinbeater and Jamal among others here are heads and shoulders above my skill set and I'd say they keep me inspired.

A german, russian and costa rican discuss the repair of a british fuel pump. What could possibly go wrong?
Look at the still photo and you will get a glimpse of where the fuel pump(s) is located. It is taken from the rear of the vehicle. The people are sitting/posing behind the front seats and in front of where the rear seats would ordinarily be located.
The video is only 20 seconds long, but it gives you an idea of the conversation.

My numbers on the 6 tons look good. Sounds like they will be testing more models as time and covid allows

Yes, thanks for posting on the Jack stands. I'll check mine later tonight. Finally bought a set last year so I could be safer. Now I don't feel bad for not using them this past weekend to swap tires on both vehicles.

Spent the money on a set of flat-top Escos and the welds looked awful. Checked into a set of US Jack ($$$) jack stands and reviews also ding their welding. I'm convinced all off-the-shelf jack stands are suspect.

Heh. Wheels and cinder blocks really were the answer all along. And a '68 Malibu convertible.

Well looks like I'm safe. Or as safe as non-recalled harbor freight jack stands can be.

Update: used many Harbor Freight tools, along with a better quality impact wrench and several impact sockets. Repair completed and did not die from HF use. Air tools are awesome.
Old hub came out fairly easily, new one went in easy, no issues. Installed a Moog brand unit bearing hub, more expensive than the cheaper options ($150 ish vs $75 ish), but I don't want to replace this again, and shouldn't have to so long as I own this truck.
Test drove around the neighborhood. The clicking in tight turns is gone, so that was the hub, not the CV half shaft. Haven't driven at highway speed yet, so will have to see if the vibration is fixed too, but I bet it is.
Nice thing about GM trucks - parts are cheap, trucks are common, so there are plenty of write ups and videos online on how to fix them.

Well done sir, that's what I get for trying to diag over the internet without hearing it. Sometimes noises can be some of the hardest concerns to diag even when in person and easily reproduced.
