Front end suspension reassembly moving slowly but moving, at least.
Having completed reassembly with fully rebuil stub axles, new springs and
nylon bushes I refit repacked hubs. Only problem is they don't seem to be
seating just right. After sliding the hubs on and torquing to the specified
amount the new rotors brush against the dust covers. Because the touch is
over only about 1-1.5 in of the disk edge I at first thought the rotors
weren't true. On closer inspection it becomes clear the hub is ''sagging' on
the stub axle, with just enough play to make the outer edge of the rotor touch
the dust cover. I tried applying a little extra torque to better seat the
bearings and then backing off to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas on what I am doing wrong here. The experts in my club
say this should be a very easy thing, no muss no fuss.
Thanks,
Bert Ljungstrom
