I had a shimmy between 60-70 on speedo for a long time. At slow speeds it felt like the brakes were dragging a little. So I finally jack it up and check the wheel bearings. Left front is loose right front maybe a little loose so, I tighten them up and go out for a drive. Things feel worse so I decide to do a visual on them. Yikes, both outers fell apart.
