Front axle potential problem?

<< < (4/4)

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
A bit of an update - I've tried the original bolts and it's not an improvement.

Next I'm going to fit a different drive plate as I have one - thought occurs to me that the original rubber centre section might be the cause of pushing things off centre. As I have a spare one that's a no cost option.

Second option is to try a different drive casing / hub  unit, last option as it's the most expensive - fit new axle & nut.

Update: I have a drive untit/hub on it's way as insurance - found what might be a reasonable condition one for less than £24 inc postage.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Yesterday I fitted a used replacement speedometer drive plate & worm drive hub.
This has fixed my chrome ring binding issue - pretty sure it's the drive plate that was the problem. The rubberised centre section I think was causing the issue. The clearance gap between the chrome ring & the hub is much more even so am happy with the outcome.
