Hi List!

This?year (around the beginning of Jan.) I asked the list about how to detect 
if 
the Front Hub Races are parallel. I want to thank everyone who replied, & I'm 
giving you the follow up on this thread.

It was pointed that the hub races could be placed in NOT parallel, but would be 
not likely because of the force placed on them when driving. Then I stated that 
I was having wheel wobble & thinking at?might have been the problem when I went 
to check it with a dial indicator. 


Again, thank you all for replying on different ways of setting this up to check 
the hub. 


I did use the dial indicator on the both sides to compare readings & check if 
the other hub was out, too. I took the?trouble hub reading to find it out .033" 
& the rotor out .003". The other side readings were? both within .003". 
Therefore I concluded that the hub was the problem. I then checked out another 
hub & rotor?to find that reading is with in?.003". 


Thus I?swapped the?bad hub?with the good one. 

I think the problem should be resolved, but?I would like another person to 
drive 
along side of me to check it out for sure when I driving around 65ish MPH.

I know the list is interested in reading follow ups & knowing that their input 
was used. THANK YOU ALL, again,?for your input.-Cosmo Kramer
