Hi all, I'm going to be taking the knuckles off my '95 to replace the lower balljoints and while planning this it occurs to me that it might be a good idea to have new new beaeings installed as well. My plan is to get a couple of used knuckles and install new parts into those so I don't have to take the van out of service to run around to machine shops etc.

The van has about 260k kms (163k miles). Is this a good idea or a waste of time and money?

Thanks!

Greg

I'd definitely replace the wheel bearing during the ball joint replacement. They have similar lifespans.

my front rite bearing started failing [noise] at 170k on my 95 ody.

On my GM van the hub and speed sensor and all is one part, and had it developed slop. Parts are a bit high but yea with that amount of miles if you're keeping it for a long time. If you're going to sell trade, don't do it.
