The front end felt better but I'm not sure it was the bearings played a lot in what I was feeling because I also had the new tire on but I could feel a difference in the harshness of the road and also the front axle was way to tight when I removed it, I tried it with a ratchet, then my small 1/2 inch drive air impact then I brought out the big Milwaukee impact before I got it to break loose I believe it was in a bind before the new tire.
