Ok, my '96 SE has 152k on it. all original, and I'm proud of the car.

Now the front end is falling apart. it's loose, and loud and dringing (like it needs bearings) the wheel vibrates above 60 and goes away at 80. my front tires are getting worn to all hell (fish scales and all).

i have 17" momo's, eibachs, tokicos, and stillen brembo rotors.

i just ordered t 2new factory bearings, rotors and pads all 4 corners and new kyb agx (gonna leave the eibachs in there). i'll have all this done and an alignment./balance and i think i should be back to tight ride and less noise!

i ho1pe this will fix my problems. should i be doing other work while i'm in there? maybe bushings? any sugestions? anyone been in this spot?

What you got should fix it with no problems. It sounds like it is the wheel bearing is actually failing...and most likely an alignment issue. But, other than that you should be set You don't really need to replace anything else while your under there.

I would suggest that you check the ball joints and lower control arm bushings. With 150K miles, you are definately at the far end of their life expectancy.
