The relevant pieces are the hub, inner spacer, and two bearings, no shims. The hub is supposed to have shoulders so the bearings are limited to how far they go in. What has been discussed in the past is that the bearings should bind against the inner spacer, therefore before one or both of the bearing are seated against the hub inner shoulders. The machinist says he pressed the bearing until he hit the shoulders. Therefore, the inner spacer is flopping around inside with tons of endplay.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>crk<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:windowtext'>From:</span></b><span style='color:windowtext'> Charley & Peggy Robinson [mailto:ccrobins@ktc.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, July 03, 2015 11:25 AM<br><b>To:</b> crk@godblessthe.us; mgs@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Mgs] follow up on mga 1622 suspension issues<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>You might want to look at the KK.3 parts exploded view to see if you have all the parts in your hubs.<br><br>CR<span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 7/3/2015 11:55 AM, Clayton Kirkwood via Mgs wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I believe there are no shims on the MGA like there are on the MGB, according to a previous post from someone.

The end play of the bearings is set by the thickness of the shims between the bearings and the spacer. The more shim thickness, the less end play and vice-versa. The shims come in various thicknesses, you select the thicknesses to combine i order to arrive at the proper end play.<br><br>Suggest you buy the factory shop manual and read up on it.<br><br>CR<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 7/2/2015 2:50 PM, Clayton Kirkwood via Mgs wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal>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??<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>At this point, it looks like I will be ordering both spindle and bearings.
