front wheel bearing type in 86 Brat.?

Featured Replies

i figured i'd ask here what type the front wheel bearings are so i don't have to take things apart first..

 

i get a slight grinding/squealing sound from front wheels (mainly pass side for squeal but i seem to hear a grind from drivers side) not to mention a slight wobble feel at slow speeds.

 

no clicking or anything from CV and boots look good (no rips/tears.)

 

Thanks in advance

Check the cone washer and it's mating surface in the hub. This is often a neglected area where lots of strange clicking, popping and creaking noises can eminate.

 

Wheel bearings are run of the mill 6207 ball bearings (2 per wheel). For best price and higest quality you should get 6207-2RS-C3 bearings from your friendly local bearing supplier.

sorry for silly question but when you say cone washer and mating surface,you talking at the axle nut ? (i probably should get repair manual)
