The cotter pin locking in your wheel bearing is rubbing the dust cap. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of J. Brady Sent: Saturday, September 23, 2006 8:24 PM To: Chevelle Group Subject: [Chevelle-list] 'slightly' off topic- disc brake question.
I have a disc brake question which I'm hoping you guys can help me with.. Only thing is, the brakes are on my GMC Sonoma. Today I did new rotors, wheel bearings (in and out), seals, and pads on my truck (also did badly needed front shocks). Thought since colder weather was on the way, now was the time.. This is the 2nd time I've done this in the time I've had the truck (since 2000), and it's the 2nd time I've had this issue. With all of the new parts in place, I went for a test drive. Overall I can feel improvement, but from 0-10 and at deceleration, I can feel what I want to describe as a "ticking" or "clicking" feeling in the steering wheel. Again it's only from 0-10 and at the very end. The rotors are brand new, and I know they're not warped b/c it's not that sensation I'm feeling (I know that one). I have noticed tho that on the back of the rotor, where the inner bearing is seated, there is what I want to call a 'gear' with teeth that goes all the way around. I'm wondering if the ticking I'm feeling in the steering wheel, is because I have the discs too tight and that gear is rubbing somewhere? I was able to spin the discs after assembly before putting the wheel on by hand, and they do spin but with some drag (which is how I thought they were supposed to be). Other point worth mentioning, I did pack all the new bearings with fresh grease, and filled the grease caps, so I don't think it's the bearings. Any help would be greatly appreciated, b/c it pissed me off to feel this after spending all day working on this truck.
