[TR] Subject: TR3/4 Rear wheel hub runout

[Catpusher at aol.com]

Randall,
 
Please check the hubs for cracks where the brake drum ID rests; these  
usually start from the grease bleed hole in that area; unless there was a  shunt.
 
+ - 0.0025" otherwise might be OK.
 
I do NOT recommend replacing the rear hub studs with OEM ones.
 
TR Regards,
 
Hardy

Listerati:

Any thoughts on what is an  acceptable level of runout in the rear hubs?
I've measured about .005" TIR  on two hubs now, which seems pretty minimal 
to
me.  But I thought I'd  ask what others think.

I'm measuring at about 2.75" from the center, so  I think that works out to
less than .025" at the road.

Trying to  decide if I should go through the hassle of removing the studs 
and
skimming  the hub surface (to true it up) or not.
