If you grab the top and bottom of the wheel and can move it back and forth, you have a failed wheel bearing. I did tie rods today. Easy if you have the right tool. Apologies if you knew this.

Which tool please? I'm looking at replacing at least the outer tie rods on my new to me 99. Thanks!

Been reading this thread. Great information. Been putting it off but going to replace my rear track arms on my 01 S.

Is it better to replace them elevated on jack stands or as the vehicle sits on the ground? Thanks in advance.

For track arms, it doesn't matter. For the coffin arms it does.

Can one replace all the bushings?
I presume the ball joint on the arm is not replaceable... is it?
