Attero Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Forgive me if this is a stupid question but I took my wheel off today to see where this tapping sound was coming from (see if there was a stone in the brake disc or something). It was the front drivers side wheel that I took off. When taking it off, I noticed that it was missing something that I believe the others had. Take a look at the pic. Can anyone tell me what it is that's missing here? It can't be that important, because I've never had it! http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9031/img0297ir.jpg Danke!

Scott Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 If that's your hub theres loads missing mate. I'd be worried about the hub falling off. Here is a picture of mine.. http://www.mkivsuprastar.com/Supra/Brakes/DSCF1983.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 The other three have something inside the middle. IIRC they looked like clips or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 To be honest I don't know what they are lol. Just had a look at the parts catalogue, they should be on the rears but the fronts are a different assembly. Attero, are you sure you have them on 3 of the 4 hubs and not just the rears?

Bailey. Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Scott surely they hold in the driveshafts on the rear wheels mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Scott surely they hold in the driveshafts on the rear wheels mate? That's what I would guess, never had them off though so can't say for certain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Wait, are you talking about spigot adapters? Have you checked inside the wheel for the 4th? Sometimes the spigot adapters stay on the hub rather than the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Ah I see. That's nice to know then! So what the hell is this bloody tapping coming from the wheel then? It sounds like a stone in the tyre but it's not. And there's no stone in the disc either. Hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Is there still a clicking noise when you turn the hub with the wheel off? If not then have a look at the balance weights on the wheel itself. Depending on rim size and shape the balance weights can come in contact with the brake caliper as they rotate. Mine do this but it doesn't bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
