Play in front wheel

(1/2) > >>

Mikep328:
This morning, when doing the brake work I noticed that the front wheel can move side to side slightly on the axle.  In looking at the diagram in the shop manual there is a spacer (#21 "wheel side collar" and #22, the front axle nut.  If the wheel is pushed to the non disc side of the axle, #21 has free play.  It APPEARS to me that the #22, the axle nut, can be adjusted so that there is no play for that spacer/the wheel.

Is that correct?  I can't find a specific reference re tightening/adjusting the axle nut in the shop manual.

The "nut" on the axle needs to be done up tight and the hexagon on the nut should be closest to the wheel

Torques are on Page 105 of the shop manual.

Thank you!!

All in order now.   All play removed but curious why there was any in the first place.  With the clamp nuts tight, it can't unscrew.    ??

I lifted the front wheel to check rotation and brake drag and all is perfect!  Wheel spins freely with just a very slight whisper of the pad(s) just lightly brushing the rotor.
