RE: [Chevelle-List] Outboard axle bearing going out?

Another thing about the U-joint. If you shift back & forth from drive to reverse with your foot on the brake, you should hear the clunk even if the car is not moving. If it is a bearing, you will only hear the noise when the car is moving. -Original Message- Good idea Kurt. Usually if t

No, I hadn't considered the u-joint, but that's a good idea. Thanks, Galen - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 11:11 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Outboard axle bearing going out? > In a message

RE: [Chevelle-List] Outboard axle bearing going out?

Good idea Kurt. Usually if the U-joint is bad, it will clunk when you first put it into gear. You also should be able to check for play there by jacking it up and rotating the tires by hand like Kurt suggested. -Original Message- Did you check the U-joint near the differential?

RE: [Chevelle-List] Outboard axle bearing going out?

I'm not sure about Chevys but I know that on Oldsmobiles up to 1968 the seal is inboard of the bearing and the bearing is a sealed (permanently lubricated) ball bearing. Beginning 1969 they moved the seal outboard of the bearing and used tapered roller bearings, which were lubed by the gea

I haven't checked the oil level yet, I'll probably try to check that tomorrow evening as well.   Thanks for your help, Galen - Original Message - From: John Nasta To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 10:49 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List

Oh, BTW, how is the oil level in the rear? It won't leak if it's dry (or below the axle tube).   -Original Message- I just looked it over, and I don't see any sign of a leak. 

RE: [Chevelle-List] Outboard axle bearing going out?

ubject: RE: [Chevelle-List] Outboard axle bearing going out?   Galen, usually if the bearing is bad the seal will go bad as well because of the extra pressure on the seal (it will get knocked out of round). Look for leaking axle grease.   Usually if the noise changes when you turn, it is a front bearing

Re: [Chevelle-List] Outboard axle bearing going out?

i had a clunking noise in the 7.5" rear under my 86 Cutlass.  Well it turns out it had busted off a ring gear tooth.  It got progressively worse and when it went, it ended up shearing 5 teeth off the ring gear.  Pretty nasty, took me forever to get all the metal filings out.  That was a Richmond ge
