Thanks for the caution guys! Sometime I dive in to deep and then go OOPS!

I did check the u-joints (nice and tight) and the bottom pivot bolt (nice and tight). I took one side apart all ready and checked for cracks etc. Nothing I could see. With no OTHER loose parts I'm left with "play in the bearings" due to "worn condition"?

I was surprised that the axle was well greased and pratically fell out of the hub. Certainly NOT put in there with any kind of loctite. Which of course then had me wondering, WHY should I use locktite on the axle?

Now about that end play on the newly installed bearings (when I get around to it). .002 to .003 recommended, but how much can I get away with "really"? .005? More?

I better follow up on the link for the ERA site! Thanks!

Ernie
