Odd Vibrations dude
So when I'm chillin at freeway speeds, she vibrates slightly. Noticeably more when I take the foot off the gas. Front end, not back. Suspension, not engine.
I took it in for a safety check a while back and the guy showed me that my right wheel could be rattled. Same thing it did when I had to replace my rear hub assembly.
So is there a front hub assembly that I might have to replace? Anyone have a direct link to what I need to order? (midamerica, eckler, etc.).
thanks guys!

If you're talking about a new front hub/bearing assembly, you can get them from:
Ecklers: 84-90 Front Part #23268 $259.00 each
www.ecklers.com
Mid America 84-90 Front Part #603-025 $269.00 each
91-96 #603-027 $249.99 each
www.madirect.com
The above prices are for AC-Delco. This is a part you DON'T want to scrimp on. Other brands don't hold up as well and some posts have said they didn't get more than a couple of thousand miles from the replacements.
It would be helpful if you indicated the year and mileage on the car in future postings.

Also how old are your tires, and are the wheel stright? Old tires are hard and may be flat spotted, if the wheels are not true that will also cause your problem even after the front bearing are repalce. If you do one side, might as well do both. Check around, you might do better on the prices even for Delco units.

tires are pretty good. And like I said...the guy actually showed me how he could wiggle the wheel in and out. I'm not thinking alignment much, just because I recently had it tweaked. But I know like the rest of you that it only takes one little pothole to throw it outa whack again.
