| Post subject: | rear wheel bearings |
well i bought myself some rear wheel bearings. in case you were wondering what lead me to buy them was, is when im driving i get a squeaking noise. it keeps up with acceleration and deceleration. its not the exhaust as this makes a different sound. anyway back to my point. im wondering if there is anything else i should buy besides rear wheel bearings. the Haynes book i have mentions a few seals but im not sure what i would need to get. anyone who is knowledgeable on this please enlighten me. ~bob |

Get a factory service manual, and save the Haines manual for winter heat.~bob What year/make car? What axle assy? |

9" drums most likely in that year category.... to bad you don't have a set of 3.23 7 1/4" gears... if you're taking the axle shafts out... you might talk to Thor to set up a kinder ratio for you! -D.Idiot |

Why do you need a slide hammer? |

on the rear instead of a dust cap like in the front theres a metal piece as ill call it and it has a metal groove in it. the slide hammer (atleast shown in the manual) has a fitting that goes into it or something. atleast thats my guess but im going to try and check the u joints first. i may return the bearings i bought for now and wait for thor to get back from tour. maybe i can get ahold of you duster? that is if you got any free time coming up. |

Be careful driving the car, especially if you suspect the rear wheel bearings. The caged ball bearings of the 7 1/4" rear are not all that strong and could fail catastrophically. I'm not trying to scare you, but I am speaking from experience.

yea i try to be nice to it. im still waiting to check them. i gotta wait until i get money again. however i did change the oil in my diff, and while i had that end of the car up i started it, hit the gas, and no squeak at all. seems to only happen under pressure. so maybe axle bearings? |
