As stated. 2008 JKR. I had the hubs and joints replaced today, felt great at first, but then over 50 it started to vibe through the jeep. Not in the wheel, had to explain, but it was almost harmonic. Everything was perfect prior. I called them and they said they are certain it is from reusing the old rotors on the new hubs. I checked all bolts and lugs, all good, so tomorrow I will take it all back apart and install the new pads and rotors. I didnt pay them to do it as I only needed to get to the frozen hub bolts, so let them do jiints and out new hubs on when they did.
Does this sound a reasonable cause? They arent trying to get more money out of me, they know I already have the parts.
Also, I beleive it unrelated but will mention the front pinion seal was replaced as well as the inner axle seals. I did a pinion seal torque wrong once and it was pretty brutally obvious. I did some test 4wd hard starts in forward and reverse and felt no wobble vibe, so I am certain at least this is not the cause.
Moog hubs, spicer joints, nothing but good luck with either in the past.
Oh, had to add, I will check spindle torque when I get the tires off tomorrow.
Thanks for any input.
Upside, replacement will be a breeze since it was all apart today lol, and gives me a chance to put some anti seize on the bolts too, in case they didnt. I swear, I ever buy a new Jeep, brand new, I will bring it home and remove every fastener and apply anti seize.
