I would love too but I really need a new rear wheel (bent) and a new front right a-arm (hozed).
But thanks for asking! <img src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" border="0" alt="[bigbye]" />

I got a weird steering (squirming) under accel as mine went bad and also a dragging sound that sounded like the park brake to stuck. I could also see scoring on the brake rotor as the pad contacts points got wierd with the worn bearing.

Jason, the wierd steering you spoke of (squirming). Was that due to the rear bearings going bad? I also have some squirrely steering now. The front end is tight, and the front bearings are OK. I'm not sure about the ball joints though. I plan on checking them in the morning.

Yes the left rear bearing was bad and the force of acceleration was causing a camber change that gave me an extra steering input, not good. They were pretty shot by the time I replaced them. I (they) did both sides and the CV joints as well. Good luck

Well, I jacked it up this morning. I have some slop on the passenger side rear that may be causing my problems. I also do have the aluminum trailing arms, so I guess I'll need to get someone to do the pressing. I was quoted $600 for both sides. I'm stupid enough to try it myself though.
Thanks all, I appreciate the collective knowledge.
