My symptoms are different but I still suspect bearings.
It started shimmying at 55 .Could not find anything loose or broke but when I jacked it up I could barely turn the right front tire . Left turns fairly easy...
Read were one symptom of bad bearings is binding .
2004 4x4

So i'll start by saying I am aware of the idiocy of using used parts to fix vehicles... but I am in a pinch for the next 2 weeks and have to get my 03 4x4 expedition up and running for as cheap as possible. I have to replace just the front passenger Lower control arm. Can I pull a used one from a salvage yard for the time being? Or do you ruin them when you pull them?

They can be pulled and replaced. That's a lot of extra work to go used now and replace later, but gotta do what you gotta do I suppose.

I used Detroit axle on mine 4 yrs ago and they are still going strong. Going to install a new set all the way around when installing my lift and brakes.

Why replace them again?

I got a 03 it's got 230000 on it I'm about to put ball joints in it and makes a clunking noise when you go over speed bumps... Putting a new flywheel starter in a Tuesday that's going to cost 1300... oh damn it boy... But I like the truck so I'm not going to complain.... too much....

I just got a Detroit Axle one for a Trailblazer in yesterday.
We'll see how long it lasts. Certainly BLEW the doors off of O'Reilly, Advance and ALL other local parts stores and theirs are all made in china too.
They are going to have to start competing at least with people who ask or they will be extinct.
