I notice a little resistance on my front wheel rotatation so I went to inspect the bearings. I found them to be very smooth with the pin-locking setscrew loose but they seemed a little rough as I tightened the setscrew - as if they were a litte dirty. I popped the what would be the inner seal out of them and cleaned them out. When I reassembled it felt better but still not as smooth as the rear carriers.
So, I was satisfied that things were good enough to run but made plans to replace the bearings soon. I just had a look at the assembly manual and it clearly shows two bearing sized in the front hub but the bearings I pulled out were the same ID and OD. So I have some special conversion on this thing?
Also, the drive shaft don't quite match what is shown in the manual. The manual looks like rebuildable CV shafts, mine look more like standard U-joints. They are still very smooth and show very little wear but they are not CV type joints.
