I have recently been hearing a "pop pop" noise coming from the right front
suspension area when making a slow full right turn.
I do not hear it when making a full turn when the car is on concrete and is not
moving.
I noted this same condition on my E-Type also.
I have Dayton wire wheels on both and relatively new hubs.
It is not the spinners or a wheel bearing or worn splines.
Several listers on the Jag list have said they had the same problem and found
that the quality of the Dayton's had gone down and they did not fit flush with
the hub--thus causing the noise while making a sharp turn. Their solution was
to get new hubs and Dunlop wires and that solved their problem.
Question---------have any of you had this problem and if so what did you
determine was the issue and how did you solve it?
Question #2------The BJ8 steering box is leaking oil (assume bad oil seal) and
the dust excluder has disintegrated. Is it possible to replace these 2 items
while the steering box is still in the car by removing the lower nut and
steering lever?
Thanks for any help.
