HI all,
After reading a post recently about front wheel bearing adjustment &
tightness I checked the play on my own car. It seemed to be what I
considered normal play when the wheel was rocked. Before reading Dick
Taylors response I would have not given much more thought but I have
learned to consider the repairs and suggestions Dick makes. After
removing, repacking and adjusting the play to just about nil I must say
the difference is noticeable. The first thing is the double pump brake
pedal in a turn is gone. The front end definitely feels tighter over
washboard roads and through bumpy turns.
I would recommend a closer look at this adjustment simply because it's
so easily over looked. I do caution not to over tighten but just
eliminate the play.
