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 thread
before.
I took the advice of the list to measure the difference in lateral deviation in
my front hub, because people who drive by me yell to me that my left. F.
wheel has a wobble in it. Using the dial indicator attached to a magnetic base &
the dial's needle out to the outside edge of the hub's face. I then moved
the rotor in a circular forward motion without turning the rotor laterally 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 max. amount of warp excepted in the front hub before having the
hub's face resurfaced? I know that the max. amount of warp on the flywheel is
no more than .003", but what's it for the front hub before having to have it
refaced?
2- I found that one wheel stud was so loose that I could push it out with just
my figure. Could that be the cause of the wheel wobble? I can fix that later,
but I'm wondering if I need to have the hub resurfaced, because I'll then have
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? OR Is there a special
machine to do this operation?
TIA,-Cosmo Kramer
