think on the bright side - at least the lower arm will weigh less with a couple thou' ground off matey!

Jon, I had a taper roller wheel bearing seize on me a few years ago. Luckily I was only travelling slowly on the exit of a roundabout at the time. You will probably find when you dismantle it all the rollers welded themselves together etc.

The bearing and race look fine but the spacer between the two rollers and heavily scored and the drive flange that squeezes the bearings tight is scored, so maybe the castle nut was not tight enough and the wheel ran untrue until it could take no more.....?? On 21st Jan, 2011 fastcarl said:

I have also had that before, the drive flange wears badly, this wear causes the tension on the bearing from the castle nut torque to be lost, then the wheel starts flapping about..........

What's caused the damage to the wheel bolt holes?

Have been thinking about how it happened and this is my conclusion... The bearing wears, the clamping force from the "castle nut" is not as tight as it was so it gives the effect of a loose set of wheel nut. If you think about it Jon, no matter how much the bearing wears, this is not going to reduce the distance over which the castle nut is clamping. As the bearing wears, it is going to wear out the rollers in the bearing, and also the bearing faces on the inner and outer races. However, the castle nut clamps through the inner race and the drive flange, so these faces are not subject to wear..... UNLESS....either, the collar under the nut relaxes and allows some clearance, the nut becomes loose (unlikely), or the bearing goes tight for some reason, and that causes fretting and wear between the inner race, and the drive flange surface, again leading to wear and relaxation of the clamping tension from the castle nut. Aside from all this, I would be inspecting the threads on the CV joint carefully looking for any stretching, I would also lob the castle nut and split collar and use new ones.

This could have been really nasty mate, I'm sure you'll get it sorted, let me know if I can help.

I have had drive flanges wear before where they are in contact with the outer bearing which required the castle nut to be retightened. I have since fitted the minispares uprated drive flanges and when torqued up to 150lbft havent needed retightening. (touch wood) -MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO- |
