Strange Rubbing Sound Per Revolution of front R/H wheel
gaz the geezer replied to Shaggy's topic in Drivetrain
yep, thats the fella ... it`s pretty important it`s set to the correct tightness to keep the correct preload, overtighten it and the bearings will eventually die an early death ..... the more i think about your concern over the rubbing noise the more i reckon it`s the caliper needing attention -
bloody hell fire !! :shock:

Strange Rubbing Sound Per Revolution of front R/H wheel

sounds like a caliper may be starting to partial seize up ? when you did the wheel bearings did you torque up the preload to the correct spec ? -
nice one 8) , i havent driven mine for 2 years now but it should be off the jacks this week and heading to a mot station early next week .... looking forward to being back in the saddle, have you any plans to make any mods to your ride dan ?

sorry dan, they are so big that they just wont upload correctly .. i`m not too hot on re sizing and all that so i`m happy to pass on to someone else to try and resize ..... nice corrado by the way !!

The voltage is easy enough to check with a voltmeter. If the voltage is between 13.5 and 14.5, it's a good bet the alternator is good. To check the amperage output you will need to `load ` the battery using a drop tester to short the battery and see how quickly it discharges .... if it discharges pretty quickly then it`s a fair bet that the battery is on it`s way :thumbleft:

ziderapple, if you have have lowered suspension then you may well have shorter shocks ( might not ) , fitting std springs to shortened shocks may well be an arseache to do and you will have suspension as hard as a skinheads boot , the eibachs might be a bit too low if you are hauling contraband back from abroad but the std springs i have are in good nick, i can mix n match so you can have a std set of springs n shocks, should sort you out if you are in need. :thumbleft:
-
....it`s mine i tell yer ..... :2gunfire: :lol:
-
........... i have a set of standard springs and a set of eibachs already fitted to some reasonable shockers, might save all the malarky of compressing the springs etc ( not super low ) and you are welcome to either set fella :thumbleft:
