SQUEEKY NOISE

[triwinggirl]

I have a new problem, I was coming up the driveway the other day and the radio was down. I heard a squeaky noise on the right side it sounded like a dry bearing. so as I cant break down, I put her on jacks and compressed the suspension, so I could grease the ujoints. I was spinning the spindle and shafts and OMG my bearings on the right side are dry as a bone and making dry grinding noise. so I move to the left side the spindle bearing on that side are loose and moving significantly.

I could be wrong but; I think I need new spindle/ knuckle bearing for both sides on my rear end.

I will find out marrow how much this will cost me.

HERES WHAT I HAVE LEARNED.

there are a total of 5 bearing in the rear spindle/ knuckles. the left side has 2 62102rs bearings and a br930091k wheel bearing, the right side has 1 of each.

this must all be disassembled before buying the bearings, so pics will follow soon. from what I understand im looking at somewhere near $500 in bearing alone.

the good news is they can be purchased at my local auto parts store.

What brand trike are talking about and is there a zerk fitting for this bearing?

[triwinggirl]

its a DFT, and these are the wheel bearing so they are sealed bearings no grease fittings.

[bikerbillone]

OK thanks, that 'splains it.

500 is pretty high priced bearings, try Rock Auto

If you have access to a press it is not a hard job

[triwinggirl]

actually yes my $500 estimate is a little high. the hubs are only $60 each at autozone. but im told the 6210 bearings there are 3 of them can run over $100 each. have not found those yet though.

im told no press needed just put aluminum housing in hot water bearings will go right in.

6210xxx bearings should cost under $30 for a reputable brand.

I use a torch, heat gun or hair dryer to apply light heat. IMO Immersion in water can create problems of it's own.

$0.02

If these bearings and hubs are any thing like Honda cars, it will be tough to fit them with out a press, they are interference fit

If this is your bearing you are lucky, it bolts on to the knucle

[triwinggirl]

yes I know I went to a local bearing company this morning and gave them $198 for 3 bearings.

then I came home and found them on amazon for $30, so it took the $198 ones back.

I have been working on a much more important project I should be finished tonight.

disassembly is my next project, I have to know how bad the damage is before ordering parts.

have replaced a half shaft and a broken case half before on this rear end I am familiar with how to do this, it should not take me long till I have pics of the disassembly, broken and needed parts. then there will be a short wait on parts delivery.

if you look at my previous pic of the hub, just behind the shocks is another bearing for the drive shafts. I am interested in who thinks they be needin replacing too.

if so that will be a total of 2 hubs and 7 bearings.

This is my opinion, but if it were my trike I'd replace all the bearings since I have it apart as I wouldn't want one I did not replace to go bad and then have to go back in and replace it. I believe in doing a job once.

Do the job once and forget about it
