So, some play in passenger side rear wheel prompted the bearing replacement, put in a new Timken & thought everything to be ok. Couple of days later, noticed with the car on the lift that there is about 1/16" play in & out at top and bottom of wheel when wiggling it with hands placed at 12 & 6 o'clock. No play at all with hands placed at 9 & 3 positions. Peeking in to the CV joint while the wheel is worked up and down confirms the hub is working up & down a bit.
Is the carrier oval maybe? This is a clean, /6 trailing arm, but there was some scoring on the inside of the carrier where a previous bearing extraction had encountered a burr. Anyone seen this sort of thing and what's the remedy? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) |
