The famous vibration after doing a lift?

<< < (5/6) > >>

nickW:
do you reckon as its only rocking 6 to 12 and not 3 to 9 that the bearing could be alright and the noise was coming from the cv joint running dry

nickW:
another question, do series 1 j reg v8i disco's have abs

Budgie:
Like I said earlier, if you get someone to look at the seal around the back of housing while you move the wheel then if it's the swivel pin pre-load they will see movement. If they don't see any movement then it could still be the wheel bearings.

As for ABS, if you've got it then there will be a large metal block with pipes coming out of it on top of the passenger side inner wing, near the air filter. I don't know anything about ABS cos I've never had a vehicle with it fitted so can't say much more than that.  :wink:

UPDATE:

right ok i took off the wheel and when you try and move things from the disc the movement is down to about 3mm,

i had a look at the wheel bearing and its not run dry but i think its probably knackered as there is move ment in it heres a pic


i didn't manage to get to look at the swivel shims as one of the bolts was a bit stuborn but it will get it undone tonight,

when you rock the the hub you can see the housing moving about the swivel, it seems to rock from the bottom of the swivel, also the swivel its self looks in pretty bad shape, pitted and scratched



so heres a few question

should i replace the swivel,

what parts should i pick up from frogs island ( what am i going to need to replace)

Budgie:
You have one of those wheel bearings where they put a second hub seal on the outside so you can't see the condition of the bearings, I've never worked out why they do that as I can't see it would seal on anything.  :?

So, you can see movement from the wheel bearing so that needs to be tightened, as you're taking the thing apart anyway then a good dose of grease in the bearing can only do good and you shouldn't need any new parts for this except for a new drive flange gasket & lock washer.

Looking at the swivel then Yes,  I think get a new one on there. That one's not going to hold much new EP90 when you fill it again as the seal is more than likely trashed and the parts you need I've listed further up in this thread.  :wink:

When you've got it all apart, have a goot look at the CV joint bearings for signs of ware. If there are any pits or marks on them then best replace it while it's all in bits anyway. This just saves you having to do the job again later.  :wink:

Anything you're not sure about then Frogs Island will be able to advise you.
