While changing the right rear wheel bearing, the 36mm spindle nut wasn't even tight. That sent a chill up my spine. I mean sure it has a keeper with a cotter pin that won't let the nut completely come off but I'm sure you get going fast enough it would'nt matter. I'm curious to see if the drivers side rear is the same way. So there may have been nothing wrong with the wheel bearings at all. Oh well its getting new ones now. So for anybody who thinks they've got a vibration do to bad wheel bearings check your wheel spindle nuts first. It may be as simple as that. Not everything that goes wrong with these cars is complicated.
