Done. The first one, pict1554.jpg is the bearing. One thing I noticed is that the grease has almost a waxy consistency to it. It's not the typical long grain grease I'm used to seeing packed in wheel bearings.

Since I had the wheel off, I thought I'd share a few more with you!

The second one, pict1557.jpg is the sway bar bushing. This seems to be in pretty good shape, don't you agree?

Next, is pic1558.jpg. This is the front LCA bushing. My guess here is that it probably needs replacing.

Finally, pict1664.jpg is the rear LCA bushing. This is bad, right?
