Hi List!
Well, I sent this (or at least I thought that I sent it) yesterday, then =
received my TR Digest & did NOT see it posted & I haven't received another =
TR =
Digest yet. So I'm sending it again, to explain why you have seen this thre=
ad =
before.
I took the advice of the list to measure the difference in lateral deviatio=
n in =
my front hub, because people who drive by me yell to me that my left. F. =
wheel=A0has a wobble in it.=A0Using the dial indicator attached to a magnet=
ic base & =
the dial's needle out to the outside edge of the hub's face. I then moved =
the=A0rotor in a circular forward motion without turning the rotor=A0latera=
lly left =
or right.
.030" is the lateral deviation of the hub's face, or the amount of warp of =
the =
hub''s face.
Questions:
1- What is the=A0max. amount of warp excepted in the front hub before havin=
g the =
hub's face resurfaced?=A0 I know that the max. amount of warp on the flywhe=
el is =
no more than .003", but what's it for the front hub before having to have i=
t =
refaced?
2- I found that one wheel stud was so loose that I could push it out with j=
ust =
my figure. Could that be the cause of the wheel wobble?=A0=A0=A0 I can fix =
that later, =
but I'm wondering if I need to have the hub resurfaced, because I'll then h=
ave =
to disassemble the hub from the rotor & remove all the 4 wheel studs before =
taking it to a machinist.
3- Can this operation take place on a normal lath?=A0=A0 OR=A0=A0 Is there =
a special =
machine to do this operation?
