[Mgs] follow up on mga 1622 suspension issues

[Clayton Kirkwood]

I don’t know what it would be from, but I don’t think it is. These are knock-off wirewheels  with left and right hand threads. They look like the ones in the manual and on Moss.

That hub is from a different car?

Returning to our story…. The consensus for the wire wheel hubs was that the inner and outer bearings were to tightly crimp the single-chamfered spacer between them by pressing the bearings in. That makes the three pieces essentially one, strengthing the three into one, eliminating any side forces on the bearings. I took my two spindles and associated bearings and center spacer to the machine shop. Guy says that the outer bearing was loose in its proper placement and I agree. He said the solution was a new spindle and bearings. Ok. The second spindle, however, is a different story: he pressed the two bearing in to their limit shoulders and the inner spacer still was flopping around inside, absolutely not crimped in place. He and I don’t understand this problem. Any insight??? There is a quarter inch thick spacer that I read as being outside of the bearings. Or is this supposed to be inside??

 

At this point, it looks like I will be ordering both spindle and bearings. Fortunately, Moss has the parts on sale:<)++++

 

TIA,
