This one is dumb.
So, I've got this great 911 front suspension (thanks Eric!) and I'm test fitting everything. I put the hub on the knuckle and put the outer bearing and washer in. Then I put the clamp nut on (finer threads than the 914-4 strut) and it starts to grab the threads, but doesn't really. So, I tighten down the clamp... all the way and I still can't get the nut to grab the threads (it does a little, but not enough and there's no gap left in the clamp nut to tighten it so that it clamps onto the threads). So, what am I missing? I've got the hub all the way seated and the bearing is fully installed. Could/should I buy a new clamp nut or just remove some material so that it has further to squeeze? |
