Lil Jimmy is still clunking away somewhere in the front end, likely the left front (long story, been beaten to death many times). Recently the left front bearing/hub assembly has begun squealing again (less than a year on the new assemblies). Could a bad hub/bearing assembly cause several loud clunks after changing directions (ie. fwd to rev)? I don't see how, especially considering there isn't any unusual play in the bearing that I've noticed, but it must be toast again if it's squealing and it's the only part now known to be bad. What do you think? Obviously I have to replace it either way but I'd hate to be disappointed yet again.
