Thought I'd update on my front wheel bearings and brakes. There is a god,
he rides in my triumph... Pulled RF wheel, dust cap and wow. Full of metal.
The ball race had disintegrated. missing about 5 rollers, no outer race
shell at all. Made me shudder, knowing i was commuting at 70-75 on a daily
basis... At least going, coming home is stop/go/stop some more... anyway,
pulled the rotoer hi pressure washed the crud and shavings out, did the
brakes, new bearings, plenty of grease, and wow. nice. steering is better,
clunk / roar is gone...
Also did the next interior step, door panels, door tops. good clean out,
up. Looks like a different car! Very pleased.
Thanks vink, & list for your suggestions and help
