rear wheels and hub wobbeling ??

Recommended Posts

Just noticed there is a lot of play in my rear wheels and hubs!!, its not just the wheel bolts but the whole lot aprox 2cm of play in both rear wheels. any ideas as to the cause, could the hub just want nipping up or is it shagged wheel bearings

 

im not getting any adverse behavious or the usual wheel bearing whine??

 

help :shock:

Agreed 2cm is a lot! :shock: Is that from the outer extent of the wheel or inner & is that with hands at 'half past twelve' or 'quarter to three?

If it's 'half past twelve' it could be a worn upper shocker mounting and possibly worn axle bushes.

If it's 'quarter to three' definitely sound like the bearings I would suggest getting them out & replacing them or at least regreasing & nipping up the nut, the Bently manual states, rather ambiguously, that they should be tightened with enough slack to allow movement of the washer with a scredriver without levering it.

 

Hope it helps, good luck... :)

That can't happen...

 

Is the locking castle ring fitted? Doesn't sound like it.

castle ring insitu but the nut was not even finger tight thus with play in it,there wasnt much play cuz the castle ring obviously stoped the nut from coming loose altogether and causing certain death at 80+ lol

 

the bearings look pritty new too so i would assume the nut was tightened with the handbrake on and when someone checked for play after nipping it up it obviously had none but with the handbrake off and the car back on the wheels there was play

 

oh well shes right now :)
