"End float" is the distance that the inner race of the outer wheel bearing is moved outboard by the shims.  This allows the wheel to move ("float") that far inboard and outboard.

Bj8--disc--front.

 

When I make a slow sharp right turn I get this popping sound in the left front.  I feel quite sure it is associated with the shims (end float)---too many of too few.  I have removed several in an attempt to stop the noise.  I know there is this end float thing but I'm not smart enough to figure this out.

 

Anyone have "simple" instructions on how to achieve it?

 

Any other ideas on what the popping sound could be?
