Today I heard an oscillating high-pitched whine while driving. It varied with speed. I'm thinking rear wheel bearings - any thoughts?
If that's probably it, I'll pull them apart tomorrow and repack them. Any tips or tricks for that project? -Rusty (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) |

Getting the trailing nut off shouldn't be too bad. I have a 4x torque multiplier and a good length of steel pipe. I'll have to buy the right sized 1" socket, though.
I'm more worried about the three bolts holding the trailing arm to the body. Ever had one break off? It's your worst nightmare - trust me. I think the time consuming thing will be cleaning up the arm (powdercoating) to get it ready to reinstall. I hate bolting cruddy stuff up. Then, as long as I'm in there - rebuilding the CV joints makes sense, right? If I gotta disconnect the CV joints, well... I might as well do the transmission output (flange) seals.
