I've had a front end vibration on my '87 9kT for a while that I attributed to my right front wheel bearing going bad. There was also vertical play in that wheel if you grabbed the top and botom and shock it. There were no other wheel bearing symptoms such as a strange noise. Anyway, I was going to replace the bearing two weekends from now and went to buy some tools for the job. I finally broke down and bought a nice torque wrench capable on 200 ft/lbs. Before I ordered the parts I thought I would check the torque of the axle nuts (gotta use my new toy and all). Anyway, you guessed it, the RF axle nut was well below spec. Tightened it up to 200 ft/lbs and no more play in the wheel. Problem solved. So if anyone has a front end vibration, play in the wheel, or noises from the front end don't jump to to conclusions. Ccheck the axle nut first!
