My XJ is falling apart?

calvynandhobbs:
The crossmember, trans mount and engine mount change out a couple weeks ago took away part of the vibration, but wherever the remaining vibration was coming from is really getting bad now. It seems to be in the front end and now I've got some bad clunking noises in the midst of the vibrations. I've gotta get the front tires off and check my wheelbearings and other things this weekend before it leaves me stranded somewhere.

Sandbox Sailor:
If you have a place to do the work, I will come help you tear into your's if you want to help me with my power steering issues

calvynandhobbs:
I wish I had a place to do the work. I went out to Rocket's place to do the last work on it. If I can get a couple hours of clear skies I'll take it apart where I park it in the road.

rocket:
call me and come back up here

Right now I'm actually a little afraid of getting it up to highway speeds. The growling and vibration is directly related to speed and it doesn't matter if I'm coasting down a hill or cruising along. It may be even be a little worse when using brakes coming down a steep hill so I'm thinking wheel bearings right now. It won't take long to check them. If it's not raining at lunch today I may even do it in the parking lot at work. I am back to carrying all of my tools with me again just in case I have to do a roadside emergency repair.
