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 |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with Cap'n. You'd think that bending the hub would require an impact by a curb or another vehicle, but by that point you'd have other issues.
I think it's still possible that it never seated right when you did the bearing awhile back. Maybe it got crooked in the race or something is keeping it from sitting all the way flush. Or sumthin else (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I guess the best way to start is by doing what the Cap'n suggested and use a dial indicator to measure runout. That way you can definitively say it has something to do with the hub and/or bearing before spending the money on a bearing, hub, or both. |
