| afternoon gents, getting the boat ready today for a trip south next week and noticed that i have a little bit of play in the passenger side bearing.. i'd say no more than 16th of an inch. can barely feel it move.. but of course this has me concerned.
should i be? i think ive read a little play is ok and or normal.. never had an issue before, knock on wood, but just started to learn about bearing maintenance in the last 10-15 years.. im amazed back then i didnt have any problems.. First time i took mine of this boat to replace, there was water and rust on the spindles... so i replaced them with a prepackaged set a few years ago, was kind of a pain because the inner seals were a little snug, so i had to order different size seals.. and thats whats on there now.. i always take off the bearing buddies, and clean up and re-grease every year, but this is the first time where ive noticed any play.. and of course when i tapped the bearing buddy back on, i think it made it a little worse..
thoughts please??
thanks, Dave | |
