Dick,
I just jacked her up and she has a lot of play in the left rear hub. The
splines that side in the axle seem sloppy back and forth to boot. I can even
feel
a hitch in the whole axle when you turn it back and forth. You can get it to
rattle a little bit. Obviously a major malfunction of some sort. You think
this is it? The right side hub is new, last year I think, when I put the new
shocks on. No play in that one. I must have cheaped out and thought I could get
away with just one hub. I have so many cars I forget what is going on with each
individual.
No Cheers,
Hubs are Big $$$$$$$
Darrell
I wish it was tools in the trunk!
That dang original radio won't go loud enough!
