While I was doing the brakes and repacking the wheel bearings and servicing the needle bearings I would look real hard at the axle Ujoints they are often neglected too.

If you do wheel bearings, if there is any question about the U joints, change them.

You are almost there when you do the wheel bearings, would be a shame to take it back apart next month.

Noise turning hard left, check the spring leaf behind the axle for the very end of the tire tread touching the spring.
