Re: 1980 Acadiane Sunday and virgin media had broken their broadband so in the absence of abusing the internet and as it was pretty nice out i decided it was wheel bearings and kingpins time. Both sides. I hate wheelbearings. Have some pointless pictures......     told you they were pointless. I hate wheelbearings, amazing how much quieter it is now though and the kinpins had so much play you could walk through them. And thats with regular-ish greasing, Dammit. MOT in april, just the welding bits to do now

Re: 1980 Acadiane <points to greaseable trackrod end...> Yeh, thought so. I was _sure_ Louis had replaced at least one front wheelbearing on that van before - and that certainly looks like it's both recent and his work. Nice neat peen, new nut, drilled out old peen. How bizarre. Kingpins are not a surprise.

Re: 1980 Acadiane Matt S wrote: Naff off chapman, thats my new one put in you fool. Ah. I must be thinking about one of the others, then. I know we got through a lot of wheelbearings on the 4x4, and my mind must have linked those to the Acad... I assume they were both thoroughly aged?
