Hi all...I think I might have a bent rear hub.I'm still chasing a vibration.
Is it possible to remove the hub with the trailing arm attached to the car? I guess it could also be a wheel bearing...thinking out loud. The axle doesn't seem to spin true and I think I can see a wobble in the hub. The axles and CV joints are new from Tangerine. Thanks, Mike |

Mike,
Have you verified the torque on the hub nut first? Should be ~220-250 ft-lbs. This should also ensure that the hub is seated fully into the bearing. If someone has messed with it recently it's possible it didn't get seated or torqued all the way. If it is a wheel bearing you'd likely hear it. A growl or even a high pitched whine are both symptoms. If you're going through the trouble of removing the hub, you might as well do the bearing too. The way I did it on mine with the trailing arm still attached means that the bearing will definitely be trashed... but at least it didn't have to be re-aligned. If you want to see how I did it (the redneck way without a press), the link is in my signature in my build thread. It's toward the back. |
