I've been experiencing a knocking noise from my rear axle. It occurs
during gear changes and sudden acceleration and deacceleration. When I
remove one of my rear wire spoked wire wheels and wipe any grease away it
disappears for a while but soon returns.
This leads me to suspect the splines have worn. How do I know if my
splines have worn? Is there some sort of measurement I can carry out?
Could it be a problem in the hub of the wheel?
I presume the noise is from a spline jumping a tooth or two.
Regards and thanks for anticipated reply.
