Yeeehaaa........my service work is done.

Bearings well within tolerance and looked good. The dealer called Dexter Axle and they talked at length about them. Brakes still looked like new but then the brakes are real "hurky" on these MS..

A half dozen new grease zerks, a grease job, 2 new tires and we are on the road again.

I feel very lucky. I drove about 100 miles then checked bearing temps with the IR gun.........55F to 58F on all four. Tire temps 68F.

No guarantees but I certainly feel better about the suspension on my rig.
