Front Suspension rebuild

Yeah it was the upper ball joint, sorry I didn’t make that clear. By wheel bearing adjustment are you talking about tighten the castle nut that hold the bearings and hub onto the spindle?

Another factor that might have caused the rub was I looked at everything while it was jacked up by the K-frame, so the suspension was fully extended. The old studs where so loose (I pushed them out with my thumb) that I couldn’t get the rally wheels to tighten down. When I did the Scarbird conversion I had to replace the studs outs so I have fresh studs that are nice and tight now. I haven't tried the rally wheels after the conversion because I did the conversion right before winter and I rather run around on the old hub caps rather than get salt or anything the new rallys.

The part that never made sense to me was why only the passenger side rubbed. The only difference I could see was the ball joint itself. Even the zert fitting are different, the driver’s side is pointing straight up while the passenger side is a 90 degree style.
