terrible noise

<< < (2/2)

Budgie:
I'd tend to go with Eeyore from the description.
The swivel bearings will cause a leak from the large seal around the chrome swivel housing when they go and the wheelbearings will leak from the rear hub seal, this will show as a leak from inside the rear of the brake disc.

What age of 90 is it, as the early ones (84-86/ish with rear drum brakes) had Railko bushes at the top of the swivel and not bearings like the later ones. If these get too warn then the movement tends to break up the bottom bearing.
Ask me how I know!  :roll:
