Has anybody on the forum get experience with adjusting rear wheel bearings?
The ROM says to adjust the endfloat to 0.002" to 0.005". When I rebuilt the drive shafts I set mine to 0.004"
There was quite significant play in the rear wheel bearings and an annoying and worrying knock from the back end when going over bumps. The whole rear end has been re-bushed and I've checked the obvious such as tightness of all bolts and exhaust, so my assumption is the knock is the rear bearings.
I've removed the driveshafts and set end float to 0.001" which is tighter than recommended by the ROM, but the wheels feel much better now with minimal play.I don't think the bearings are too tight as they turn nice and freely.
Haven't had chance yet to road test the car, so don't know whether I've cured the knock, its raining at the moment and don't want to get it wet!!!!!
