Phantom of the Opera
When I bought this '72 in '95 I had a DC region Corvette shop redo the entire rear suspension, stuff I had no clue about and honestly more interested in the interior and injection and shit.....
SO, it's been since '95 the rear wheel bearings been looked at, I remember the guy packed them with RED bearing grease, and of course new seals....I think the bearings themselves were new, but been 20 years now....the rotors were drilled off the spindles, I have had the 1/2 shafts unbolted a few times over the years....but never dropped the spindles off the T-arms....
I think the bearings need rebuilt/at least inspected and fresh grease....
car runs ok, but even if some rough running I could not hear over the exhaust anyway.....
I remember a huge nut on the spindle when I drop the drive shafts....
so can I inspect/ fix with the t-arms in the car or is it too much?? can the spindle/bearing/housing assy be unbolted from the t-arm without too much BS??
I just nervous about it being 20 years now, and would like to turn it over to my son soon enough, and in good condition.....
