Play in wheel 

Posted By : James Dennison, 01-Jun-2007, 09:43pm

Getting my GT6 Conv ready for MOT a week on Monday followed by the best part of 1000 mile round trip to La Sarthe on the Thursday

Trying to spend a couple of hours on her each night and complete a task each day.

Tonight I have finished topping up the gearbox oil (a lot more went in than came out ...ooops) and refitted the gearbox tunnel with liberal use of gaffer tape to try prevent some of the engine smells.

I have then turned my attention to the F/N/S wheel which has a bit of play - not much but I don't want to take any chances with the MOT man 'cos I 'aint got the time for a retest.

I managed to get the castellated nut to tighten up another hole but I still have the same amount of play in the wheel.

Last year I fitted a new stub axle and ball joint to this side, the trunions were replaced the year before and the rack is probably 5 years old.

After 6 years of ownership I am still learning everytime something needs fixing - any ideas where I should look next?

Play is side to side (if that makes sense) I grab the wheel on the sides and can feel a bit of movement.

Suggestions welcome!
