I must be getting old...cause 5+ hours yesterday rebuilding the front hubs on the 4Runner has resulted in an Ibuprofen breakfast. :)
Huge difference in driving, with a 30Km test last night. The deterioration of the front end was quite sudden...the last 2 months or so. Lifting the front end and giving each wheel a shake showed we were hooped. Inner bearing on drivers side, and both inner/outer on passengers were in need of replacement. Tires were cupping on every other lug.
This is the type of maintenance that I hate...messy, long, no glory, and no performance enhancements (none noticeable anyways).
Big thanks to some pointers from:

No pics...I was too GREASY to be handling my D3000.
