I looked for problems with my rear control arms, missing bolts etc, when I was at Goodyear turning my tires inside out to run "blackwalls". I told the mechanic that I was having severe pull when I let off of a strong acceleration. Denis, the mechanic immediately walked up to fron t wheels and pulled on them and siad "you need new wheel bearings, manager siad total would be $100.

I declined his offer, called Auto zone, qoute was $8.00 for outer bearing and race and $8.24 for inner bearing and race, inner seal was $1.89.

Entire deal cost about $40, I put them on in about 3-4 hours of work, Car drvies great, no more pulling. Dennis was right.

Wanted you guys to know. Thanks for your help. Dave

I actually stopped in to tell Dennis "thanks" and to explain how he had helped me. I think it made his day. He has an interest in Muscle cars. Dave
