Re: Clunk,clunk in CJ 4 lo?
Last time I bought them was for my back ones, Can tire had greasable for
$20.00 or non greasable for $25.00, figured I'd splurge and buy the non.
Daughter just got a job at a local parts store, greasable is $15.00 my cost,
so I'll buy them there, get 3 for less then 2 at can tire, have one for
spare, since I just put my last spare in her jeep.

Re: Clunk,clunk in CJ 4 lo?
Last time I bought them was for my back ones, Can tire had greasable for
$20.00 or non greasable for $25.00, figured I'd splurge and buy the non.
Daughter just got a job at a local parts store, greasable is $15.00 my cost,
so I'll buy them there, get 3 for less then 2 at can tire, have one for
spare, since I just put my last spare in her jeep.
