That loose wheel... can you check if the whole axle housing moves a little? I believe I had an issue with the U-bolts needing a fresh torque.

AHHHH Rich i did read that exact post where you mentioned that !!!! I will be looking in my book to check on the torque specs for it AFTER i install all my new leaf spring and related bushings all the way around. New u-bolts will be on order.

It didn't seem like a bearing. I had to lift up way too hard for it to be. It almost seemed like what you mentioned.

But I'm still stumped on the rough feeling I'm getting when turning from a stop mainly while towing !
