Got a wobble ? Not any more ! Mileage 163180 - 11th August

Finally got to the root of the Wobble issue, which at 60mph was pretty frightening. Careful diagnosis led to badly worn swivel bearings. The picture shows the N/S/F chalice all stripped down - a job like this would have frightened me, but with the help of a seasoned mechanic (thanks Cliff) I managed admirably - in my opinion!!
The O/S/F was a different story. The hub turned out to be (on closer inspection) an ABS type hub, and the bearings I had purchased were wrong for this hub. With no hope of getting the right ones on a Sunday afternoon, we simply removed all the shims from the locating pin and bolted her back up.

With both wheels done, and road test completed, its fair to say its cured. The only remaining conundrum is whether the front axle is original? Strange having 2 different hubs.


Oh well, time for a well earned rest. Looking forward to next weekend away, and hopefully no lying under the landy !
