Hi all...I have a 2 part question that hopefully someone can help me with.
1. It seems I can't tighten the front wheel bearings quite enough to get to the "tightness" that I want. The adjuster doesn't want to turn in any more and I don't want to force it. Is this an indication of not enough grease in the bearings? 2. I have the front wheels off the car. When I spin the hub and rotor back and forth I get a slight knock when the rotor starts and stops. I can really feel it in the strut also. Is this normal? Am I explaining this properly? It is not wheel bearing slop. Thanks, Mike |

Guys...I figured out my "clunk" issue. I removed the brake pads and the noise is gone.
They must move a little as the rotor starts and stops. Thanks, Mike |

Thanks, Mike Yes this is a noise that drives some people crazy. If you drive your car forward and repeatedly press the brake, the pads dont move and dont make a noise they are hard against one side of the 'pad cavity' If you reverse and apply the brake, the first time the brakes will make a noise as the pads move to the opposite end of their "cavity". backup & stop again - no noise. Now chage dir & move forward & apply, they will make the noise again on the first press.. |
