i would like to thank FB71, 25 Horseplay, and PU 41 for your help with my front wheel bearings. I rebuilt the new front hub and spindle i bought (PU-41) suggestion and the whine has left the building in my front left wheel. Took it out for drive and the whine is gone, dont need no more cheese now (dumb saying), lol. I'll drive it around for about 25-30 miles and then jack it up and check the wheel play. I did let the wheels turn for about 15 minutes while still up on jack stands and it loosened up a little so i tightened them down. Drove around for about 15-20 minutes, jacked it up and wheels still tight. I'm a happy camper now i got the Grey Ghost back on the road.

Took car out today and ran highway for about thirty minutes at 65mph. No whine and the car ran straight as arrow steering wheel was straight right where it was suppose to be. Came home and jacked it up and wheels still nice and tight. Its amazing that one little spacer that goes between the two front bearings can make your wheel whine like its a tire out of alignment. The Grey Ghost is now back in commission.Thom-Lifes too short, don't blink
