![]() ![]() all looked good the only thing unusual is I could push the axel out. figure bearing or axel but there wasn't the usual grind nor clunk. Yes, the axel on the loose side was a $25, left over special, rebuilt in a box at local parts house that was closing up. (yes, laying out in the snow.sucks) Interesting point is this shake is exactly what happened in the summer, took apart, (noticed ease of axel removel) didn't see an issue and put back together and shake was gone, 5 months later it comes back while playing with the subie in the snow. so I am focusing on the issue being on the left side.Ī shake this time of the year could have been ice/snow packed uneven on the inner rims but as I took the tires off any ice appeared uniformed in thickness. Left side only, right side there is no play as described. Axle Nut is tight and still under torque. after the tire is off i can grab the rotor and experience the same slight slop as I wiggle top to bottom. With the 84 Hatch jacked up I can grab the top/bottom of tire and feel what appears to be slop in the knuckle houseing. I will replace cone washer when it comes in from local Subie dealer. I think it was just a combination of cheap parts and cheaper parts going bad. So, laid in the snow, got er done and sounding good. The axle I got is a Cardone rebuilt (another companies logo on box) per the supplier. UPDATE: I did the shot gun effect, new axle, new bearings, seals, grease etc. Is the dimensional difference enough to create a phantom wobble in the front as it seems to come and go, take apart, find nothing, put back together and all good for 5 months. On the bench I can slide the old bearings on the old axel and there be ever so slight a gap, but can't hand slide on new axle so tighter fit. Short story: 84 Hatch, The front axel just pushes out by hand force, wiggle, wiggle and pull and out. ![]()
