Not Ranked
So if I am hearing this correctly, it is not uncommon for them to loose up over time? Everything seems fine in the hubs. The hub rotates nice and smoothly over the bearings. No signs of failure. Of course I have not pressed the hubs apart, just removed them. This is my first experience with the jag hubs and I want to be sure. Even the seals seem fine.
The spacers look fine (not like they are spinning or any thing) and the looseness slowly increased over time. I did not measure how loose they where, it was just enough to rock the wheel when holding it top and bottom.
One hub I had to press off, the other I was able pull off the splines by hand.
I do grease them annually with a good grease. Another question. In the body of the hub where the lower pivot connects to the a-arm, in the rear of the hub there is a hole that when you overgrease the lower fitting, grease comes spilling out. Should that hole be plugged with something or is that just a crude way of telling you it is full?
The rear does have about 28,000 miles on it and it has never been adjusted.
Thanks
Rick
