I put together my first GT6 verticle link (not mounted on the car yet), and
noticed that the hub doesn't spin freely when you have the felt oil seal in
place. Without the oil seal, you spin the hub and it gives several rotations
before coming to a rest.
Is that oil seal supposed to be causing so much resistance to the spin of
the hub? There's no wheel mounted, but the new rotor is on, which adds some
rotational weight, and I figured the oil seal would hardly affect the spin
of the hub..
