JampJ Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 What exactly is the clunk? Cheers J&JÂ JFDI (Just F*****g Do It) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goffers Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 You sure it's not the A-frame bush? When I've had a clunk on my VX Classic, changing the A-frame bush solves the problem! Â goffers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Sewell Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 There is also the well known and documented "migrating bearing" problem where the half shaft can actually move up and down the axle tube when cornering. Been there, done that, not a nice feeling. Simple check, jack the rear of the car up and try to push/pull the wheel from the car. Mine was repaired by Ratrace, although I am sure that James Whiting, Sevens Workshop or any of the other specialists can do the repairs. Cheers, Graham --- Low tech luddite - xflow and proud! Edited by - Graham Sewell on 22 Nov 2006 08:42:56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Willoughby Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I had the migrating bearing problem in my live axle car. I seem to remember that that there was a solution in the form of uprated half-shafts to prevent it from happening again. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 thanks guys, could be the bushes as the wheel is pretty tight.Appreciate your replies 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobW Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 If the driveshaft is moving it is possible to shim the diff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revin Kevin Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 hi all, Shimming the wheel bearings is a very easy job to do yourself, you just need a local engineering firm on side to make the shims for you, cost me £25 for both side. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
