I am looking to verify a diagnosis. I am running rear disc brakes and have
developed a rythmic clicking noise from the right rear that stops when the
brakes are applied lightly. I thought I had a warped disc and the noise was
the disc slapping the brake pad on each rotation. I jacked up the rear and
found I could move both rear wheels in and out slightly but the right rear I
can "rock" . That is if I grab the front and rear of the tyre I can pull the
front out and rear in and vice versa. Rims are near new and the splines are in
good condition. The wheel spinners were of course tight.
I suspect it is wear in the hub bearing as I have disassembled the right rear
and can find nothing else broken or worn. The bearing runs quietly but there
is some in out play.
It there anything else I should be checking before I order new bearing etc?
Thanks
Pieter
