Subject: Re: Rear Hub removal - came out in 2 pieces by jmartynuska on 2010/3/25 1:19:51 No problem with pointing out the obvious - I freely admit I can be "blind" at times, or is it blonde? The RR wears faster than any other corner, LR almost as fast - probably in part due to an aggressive alignment driven on the street. Something tells me I've chased out of balance wheels before and that wasn't it. Good suggestion, though. I'll try rotating tires around tomorrow and see what I get. When I replaced the u-joints one was bound up so badly it wouldn't rotate at all and the cap broke from the strain. Somehow in my mind I want to relate some of my trouble back to there. It was the RR outer u-joint. [img width=300]http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?pid=30366643&id=1018720494[/img] I also have an issue with the pinion yoke. U-joint is loose in the register. I measured u-joints and the yoke with calipers, I know I need a yoke, which means crush sleeve/pinion bearing preload is compromised, which means pull the diff.... At low vehicle speeds and lower gears - especially 6th, every once in a while I'll hear a fairly loud clunk when I get back on the gas from decel, best I can relate is a backlash kind of clunk. Rotating the half shafts by hand I get a good bit of play at the diff housing and clunking. This is the only IRS D44 I've ever been around, so I don't know what's "normal". The shin bone's connected to the thigh bone, the thigh bones... |
