oh have been replacing both bearing some time ago , i just like to re use this thread because i don't wanna have to start another every time somethings wrong .

also the weird wind up noise came from after i went to get a new driver side axle replaced , it might just be me making a fuss about noises when it's normal.

It's not something I could live with. It will not necessarily hurt it but could make for some weird handling characteristics if they are not all the same rolling diameter...even different tread patterns can cause this. I can't even stand to have one model tire be different than the other three on my car (much less a different size) but that's not always cost effective.

update , the axle isn't making any clicking noises , but i do notice a weird noise , like in school or when you're at home and you pull a chair with out lifting the chair ya know and you drag it on the floor it makes that one certain noise. since its raining its actually faded away and can't hear it, but its always on certain streets i pass or road condition that I'll drive on , that i will always usually hear that noise . hmmm .

could be that my tires are bald and that i need an alignment though HAHA ^^ . but still the boot is like <10$ and a new axle for the passenger is 85$ that's w.out shipping.

well well well this is starting to get pretty damn irritating , so i got some Teins from Keo , went to shingouki1 the other day so he can put them on and along the way , he found this

yep . (-_-)

on top of that i went to get my new tires placed on and well , one of the wheels i bought from c-list was 16x7 4x100 but i thought it was 4x114.3 so i'm riding on three new tires and a 15' rim . i thinking about donating plasma to get some extra cash for repairs.

all righty then so i suspect i need to change my outer tie rod(s) , the passenger side axle now for sure , was going to replace the boot but rather replace the whole axle , and ball joint(s) .
... btw these are all being bought from rock auto since that;s pretty much the only place i know where to get my parts , auto zone and orielly probably have them but in crappier quality or at a higher price.

for the axle i thought of
