nothing probably.

the only reason i replaced them is because when i first dropped the truck, i didnt grease one of the bearings enough, and after awhile, it started to eat into the spindle. i would say almost a 1/4" of metal was worn away on the drivers side spindle.

well, probably not

but, i'm not sure if there would be a way for a machine shop to "add" back the metal part that is missing.

Look Good Eric.We have had phantom grills on 2 of are trucks for the last three tears and cleaning the bugs off the headlights is no problem at all. Here is a pic of one of them.

Man, that looks a million times better! Not that I didn't like it before, but what a huge difference! Did you look into the wheel covers for the backs of the rims to cut down on brake dust? I've never used them myself, so I'm not sure how well they work.
