Specs, looks better than the red one you rolled :thumbup:
 
Jack up the tire, Grab it top and bottom and wiggle it.

that's a good way to check a balljoint, but won't tell you a bearing is bad unless it's REALLY bad and has play in it.

pop the tire off and spin the hub by hand slowly, it should be smooth and make no noise through 360° rotation. if there is even a single rough spot in it replace it.
 
Thanks everyone, all of the above will be checked through on Saturday... Sweet to be back with this community!
 
grinding noise was the track bar rod end loose on the mount, tires were so worn in the front that they beat the crap out of the rod end. it probably didnt help that it got death wobble at 35mph aswell, i got new tires and the wobble is gone, just need a new track bar now...
