All,

While waiting for parts to arrive for my oil pressure solution I suffered
from Shipwrights Disease and pulled the rear axles on my 4A IRS in order to
lube up the sliding half shafts. The outer hubs are 40 years old so I
thought I'd check them, but wasn't sure for what?

 

So I measured the outer hub assembly end float and it was .009", which is
twice what the Bentley manual claims is correct. The hubs spun quite nicely
with no restrictions or binding. Should I worry?
