I got the right axle shaft out today with the intentions of solving the grinding noise from that side. when i took her out i noticed 2 things i was wondering if anyone could send me some advice on.
first, i can wobble the hub about a 1/4 inch back and forth on the axle shaft because of bearing play. does that seem like the bearing is worn? or do they install loose as that?
second i noticed that the ridges on the end of the shaft seem worn a good bit. i shined a flashlight down the trumpet to see the receiving splines and they don't seem to be as worn, a little more pointed on the ridges. i don't see them as being a source of the grinding noise, but i'm not sure, has anyone heard of the splines being a source of noise without failing completely?
would appreciate any help i could get. i will try to attach a picture of the spline.
thanks,david
