- The shims are what gives the end-float - more shim thicknes gives more end-float and vice-versa. The nut tightens up through the inner race of the outer bearing, the shims, spacer tube and the inner

- Only one thing wrong with that statement - Triumph uses taper roller bearings on a stub axle that is smaller than the MG one, I believe, and does it without spacers - you set end float with the nut a

- Been off the list since December, working on the 77 off and on. Many problems encountered and most fixed (or in process), but have no knowledge of what "end float" is for the front wheel bearings. Ha

- The answer to this mystery is the "spacer", which with the shims maintains the correct end float setting with the nut torqued down. This is different from a typical US car where torquing the nut affe

- Walt, Your front bearings are designed very differently than what you're used to with American cars. There is supposed to be a cup-shaped spacer and a set of shims in between the inner bearing and o
