Hey Bob! I do feel a little more vibration that usual when I'm on the freeway. The shop said that with the bearing how it is, it makes it difficult to do a perfect alignment. They also said that as it is now, it technically wouldn't pass safety inspection, although I don't think they'd fail me (moot point as I got it done (and passed) a month ago). What is the proper way to check "slop?" Right now I've got 129K miles on the ol' girl.
