Ofeargall Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I thought by bearings were bad but I pulled the axle and there is no play. But I wonder if its my cone washer? I tightened the axle nut and it was loose inside of a day. Could the cone washer be the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idasho Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yeah, its shot. How does the hub look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ofeargall Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ah, dang. I didn't get a shot of the hub. I'll get a shot in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ofeargall Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Okay, maybe not this morning... It was pretty dark and rainy as I left on my 75 mile commute... But, what kind of wear indicators am I looking for on the hub? The axles are new (reman, I'm guessing). I bought the car a few weeks ago off craigslist so I don't know all the things that have, or have not, been done to it. I did notice while getting tires this weekend that that the lug nuts have a significant shoulder on them as if they had been run loose or something. It was also quite difficult to get the wheels off the pilot center of the hub after removing the lug nuts. I had to us a wooden block and hammer to persuade the wheels off.

Ofeargall Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 This thread is quite helpful as well. I just found it... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=136936 The local Subaru dealer says 3 days to get a new cone and thrust washer. $13.90 for the washer, $12.77 for the cone.
