Pretty White 07-31-2002, 10:44 PM Anyone ever snap and repair the right side bolt that attaches the axle to the bearing? I snapped one of the three 12mm bolts that holds the bearing to the axle shaft. And will that cause the wheel to vibrate at highway speeds? Also our steering racks are a real PITA to replace. Worst than a clutch job! I now have a clunk when turning the wheel left I have to listen out for. Something isn't bolted down. WHAT A PITA! se-r sam 07-31-2002, 11:13 PM Can you explain the location of the bolts in more detail? I've never seen them on my Classic.

The 2 bolts will be enough. wolfcri 07-31-2002, 11:48 PM Reoving that rack is going to require some major disassembly. Not a few hour job. NismoSER 08-01-2002, 12:03 AM Yea, AFAIK DET guys only use two of those support bearing bolts. You are still n/a, so I don't think you'll have a problem Ian. se-r sam 08-01-2002, 12:22 AM He did say drivers side, didn't he? Someone should lay off the !@#$ when typing. lol NismoSER 08-01-2002, 09:34 AM He did say driver's side, but there are no 12 mm bolts on the drivers side.

My rack even though rebuilt has a clunk in it when I make right locks. It is inside the rack although the rebuilder insists that it is one of my steering wheel u joints. I got it from TheDriveshaft Shop. He did say driver's side I meant passenger side! :o The three bolts on the bearing, not the support bearing. Also my dust shield on the bearing is loose and dangling on the shaft. Has anyone ever used RTV or something to hold it in place? The axle rebuilder told me it is not necessay and can be discarded if I want to. That doesn't sound right. se-r sam 08-02-2002, 06:01 PM The shield is there to keep "most" of the road grime from eating the seal. I wouldn't get rid of it, try to fix it somehow. Mine was loose, but the axle was tapered so I just tapped it back down untill it had a good tight fit. No more problems.:) NismoSER 08-02-2002, 06:10 PM Originally posted by se-r sam Mine was loose, but the axle was tapered so I just tapped it back down untill it had a good tight fit.
