I noticed a little bit of "wander" while driving my Tracker. An observer noted that both rear wheels were wobbling. All lugnuts were tight. I assumed it could be bearings. I have both axle shafts removed. How do I tell if the bearings are indeed bad? How do I remove the races and bearings? (special tools?) The Haynes manual says "take it to the shop", I would rather do my own work....
With a bearing puller & press. Don't do it unless u have experienced it. I know it stinks but YA GOTTA DO WHAT YA GOTTA DO. Good luck

I had the very same problem with my 94 tracker and it turned out to be something simple. My check engine light had popped on after it had hit 100,000. I went through all of the suggestions that people had suggested (unplug battery......etc) and still to no avail. Searching the internet, I came across a website called suzukiforum.com and there, this guy was able to help me with my problem. It turned out to be a maintenance switch that kicks on every 50,000 miles. This switch is like a secret that the auto manufactures use to ploy owners of their cars to bring to the dealer and then rack up the dollars in unnecessary "repairs". The switch is located under the dash and can be hidden anywhere. From the assistance of the guy on the forum, he was able to send me photos of this damn switch and possible locations where it may be mounted. I found mine in about 5 minutes, where it was attached to the steering column. It's a tiny switch, that you slide up or down, depending on what position it is in upon finding it. If it's up, then slide it in the down position and visa versa. Once you do this, the check engine light will go off. Make sure you do not have the car running and you can even unhook one of the battery posts, just to make sure you don't hit anything while rooting around under the dash. Good luck!
