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 |

Thanks for the reply. I just had the back end all apart replacing axles and cv joints.
I tightened the big nut as tight as I could with a large bar. That didn't fix my vibration so today I took the wheels off along with the left caliper and rotor. It still looks like something is wobbling, the axle is not spinning true. I think the hub might be bent but it's so hard to tell. I replaced that rear bearing 2 years ago. Maybe it's not seated right? No noise from the bearing. Mike |

Mike When I used a torque wrench to tighten mine I was suprised how much force 220 was. |
