[T3] wheel bearings, etc.


Hi everyone,

After replacing all my ball joints & tie rod ends I set about checking my wheel 
bearings before lowering Brisby to the ground. As it turns out, one of my outers is in 
need of replacement, starting to pit & fleck metal..   for the purpose of roughing my 
alignment in (so I can drive her down to a real shop) I decided to simply repack that 
bearing with fresh grease and drive lightly. Anyone advise against a few miles on  
the car until the offending bearing is replaced?

OTOH, while enjoying this new found firmness (even while suspended:) in the 
outer branches of the steering, my attention is drawn to a healthy bit of slop in the 
steering box itself. I'll be giving this a run through per the Bentley manual tomorrow. 
Any real world addendums to this out there??
