Chris Wilson Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Check if the rear hub nuts are really tight. The big central nuts with a split pin in them. If they will tighten at all, with a 3 foot breaker bar, the chances are the outer C/V splines and the hub flange splines are worn. If bad you'll see a tell tale sign of rusty dust around the nuts. It's a dear do to fix this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 It's a dear do to fix this! Parts or labour wise? Worn splines are unheard of, I'd chance low mileage 2nd hand parts off a breaker if that were the case. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
