Has anyone experienced excessive play in a newly installed rear wheel bearing? During the restoration of my 72 I installed new bearings. The left rear has no play and the hub rotates smoothly. The right side seems to have excessive play and with the car on the lift I can wiggle the tire and wheel left and right about 1/8th of an inch. Thinking I might have damaged the bearing during install I ordered another one. Yes I bought decent quality from Pelican and not a made in china cheapie. Again I carefully pressed in the bearing feeling confident it was not damaged but once again the hub rocks while the other side doesn't. Thoughts?

Wasn't there a thread on here about some bearing having a slightly smaller I.D.,seem to remember it was the SKF ones that were the issue and the FAG ones were ok ??.
This would certainly seem to be the OP's problem,I would think if it wasn't a tight fit into the trailing arm this would be an issue. I read replies with interest as I have a bearing to replace myself and it is an SKF one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . |
