small amount of play in rear axle bearings
Posted: Mon Apr 10, 17 6:47 pm
MOTed car on Saturday expecting no advisories given the work that went into the suspension and axle over the last 2 years.
It passed YaY!
but i was surprised to get advisories on SLIGHT rear wheel/axle bearing play
these are new bearings on new axles in a housing that is in good condition
the bearing cups needed to be pulled out rather than falling out and new ones put in.
can't see any way to adjust so will just have to live with it i guess
axle has approx 1500 miles on it
can anything be done? or do i need near bearings and seal already
proper....branded bearings went in
