inThat older guy at the Ford dealership lot taught me something about wheel bearings
Didn't an old timer show you how to check a u-joint by putting the truck in gear and listening for a clunk? That one blew my mind because I'd been crawling under trucks for years prying on driveshafts like a caveman. My uncle had this 1987 F-250 with a noisy rear end, and he just backed it up against the curb, put it in drive, and listened to the thump. Turns out the whole carrier bearing was shot, and I would've never thought to check it that way. Now I can't help but grab any truck wheel I see parked in a lot and give it a shake, people probably think I'm nuts.
