George and his friend Marc and I have been working on George's Chump Car.
We have made a lot of progress we need to post. One problem is a pretty loud growling coming from the right rear. It gets louder and softer with changes in speed. I pulled the caliper last night and the pistons were defintely stuck. I was able to free the inside but the outside is buggered. The caliper was gripping tight enough I could barely get it off the rotor. I plan to swap in a caliper from another car tonight and see what happens. We are trying to go to a DE this coming weekend so we don't have a ton of time. What else could be causing the problem? The wheel is very stable when grabbing it and wiggling it back and forth. If the bearing is going bad, would it cause the wheel to wobble noticeably? We also suspect it could be the CV. Any thoughts about the situation (other than it sucks)? John |
