Ok, I played with it some more. Took the wheel off, and removed the grease cap to the bearings. Loosened the clamp nut bolt. Put the wheel back on without the center cap. Lowered the car back down. Started tightening the bearing clamp nut while rocking the car side to side. I got the clunking to pretty much stop, but the bearings are now pretty tight as the washer under the clamp nut does not want slide back and forth anymore.
I'll take it for a spin tomorrow and test it when I get home. Bearings are pretty cheap if I end up smoking these. Kevin - I put my old steel wheels on, a while back, and it did not help. I'm wondering if, like Geoff said, my control or trailing arm bushings are bad...?? Since I feel the shimmy in my ass, I keep thinking it's in the rear trailing arms. |
