After replacing the wheel bearing is an alignment required? I was also planning on doing the Upper control arm bushings and Upper ball joints while had everything apart at the same time.....but my finances have slowed down my grand plans. I am thinking about doing just the wheel bearings this weekend if I don't have to get an alignment.

Thanks
Doug

no alignment required unless the tires are wearing unevenly, the bearing are badly worn and loose and it was aligned recently with the bad bearings

if the bearings and tires look fairly good, drive it unless you don't trust the ball joints or tie rod ends.
either braking off while on the road can make for a wild ride

The final problem ended up being sticking brake calipers. Just wanted to let everybody know if you didn't read brake question string.

I just read your other thread. I was going to ask if it fixed this problem when I saw your last post here. Looks like it did!
