its an 89 i finaly got it all apart today but what was weird to me was the fact that the left and right side were totally different left side had 5 torx screws and the right had 3 and i deffinitly need a 2 1/2 inch socket to ***** back on the wheel bearing locknut for the right side

weird, sounds like someone put in a different year hub on the right side.
