Default Rear wheel bearings...

The rear bearing on the passenger side is going out. It's got that slight wobble off the ground when rocking the front and rear of the rim.

From the fred beans site - it looks like the entire knucke needs to be replaced . Is that true? It is item #1 in this layout diagram:

Hi there,

Yes, you have to purchase the hub assembly. I sell them for the best price shipped!

Thanks,
Gene
