ALright guys, I have read sooooooo many posts on the trailing arm bearings, the old eyes are bleeding!
One thing I have yet to see, how to you check for play? Is the whole thing put in a vise, spin and watch dial indicator? Is the rotor horizontal or vertical? Any force applied to rotor to induce possible movement.
I tore into my TA's and found that both have new spindles, wahoo, maybe wahoo. So far those suckers have no noticable play. After removing the half shafts, spinning the rotors, listening with stethoscope, sounds smooth to me. I have put about 6000 miles on car since I got it, not sure who did what before then, thus the above questions are being asked.
One final note, after driving 200 miles or so and after each gas stop I always check temp on hubs, the rear hobs are just warm, never hot. Assuming all is well???
THanks for any input.
