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 |

I suppose you could have a bent hub, but it'd take a pretty substantial whack to do that. If you remove the hub, you have to replace the bearing. If the bearing doesn't come apart when you press the hub out, the hub is worn on the surface that contacts the bearing and it's scrap metal. Before I pulled the stub axle and the hub, I'd put a dial indicator on it and check for out of round and wobble. That could be done with the disc in place "IF" the disc were secured to the hub with 4 nuts.
