Hi List!
?
OK, now that I started this thread & have replied to 99.9% of them. Here is 
what I have:
9 wheels in total (5 with tyres & 4 just rims). I've gone to a club member's 
house & we checked out all of them. I then found out that 3/32" is within the 
spects?of hop (up & down) & wobble (side to side). Wheel?hop?is more of a 
concern than wheel wobble when worring about the wheel's roundness, to effect 
the ride of the car.
?
Then I asked about how to check out the front hub's Bearing Race Cups to be 
parallel. Most people replied: to use a dial indicator on a base (magenet or 
clamp) to check the hub's 'roll out'.
?
BUT I questioned this method because if the hub's Bearing Race Cups are NOT 
mounted into the hub parallel, then I feel that you will be getting a reading 
of wobble; when the hub unit, it self, doesen't have a wobble or warpness?at 
all.
?
I have not done ANYTHING yet, except to check out each rim's bead on the left 
side & right side of each wheel in what I feel was a crude way. BUT! It DID 
give me more input on my problem than what I started with.
?
So this is a summary & I'm still in a quandary on how, SPECIFACIALY, do I? know 
if my hub's race cups are parralel after?I use the dial indicator?
?
Thank You for all the replies, but I'm still needing more help. TIA
