Pathfinder_Rookie Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Sorry about the redundancy but I originally had this posted in the R50 forum, but I haven’t received a reply as of yet. A little more to my issue: I have been having issues with vibrations in the rear of my pathy for a while now. When I had it up, and supported it by the axle, their was an abnormal vibration when allowed to spin freely in drive. I took it to a buddies shop and had my aluminum wheels cleaned and balanced, one wheel was extremely difficult to balance, and had a visible sway to it on the balancer. When taken for a test drive my problem was still there. Thinking it was the ‘warped’ wheel, I lived with it till I put on my 31’s with new rims. But my problem still continues. There is a slight play with my axle bearing, but I don’t see this causing me a vibration at around 95 and 120km/h. My current tires are balanced, and their no visible defects on the tires. I have recently noticed that the rim/tire on the side with the bearing play, seems to be warped, I had this look at and the rim is fine. Is their anything else I need to check or test before I replace the bearing, cause its not cheep and its an involved job, and I cant be without wheels. Below is my previous post. “Hey guy I have to replace my rear wheel bearings on one side of my truck. I have called around for the parts and im getting a really steep price for the bearings and seals, $220 my cost taxes in. I was wondering if anyone has an old bearing and/or seal that’s kicking around that has a number still legible on it. I want to see if I can get it through the bearing shop. Also does anyone have pics of the rear hub apart; because the exploded diagram is showing me a sealed ball bearing type, this seem wrong to me, and the shop books call for 2 bearing and 2 seals. Id take it apart to see but I have no other wheels, and my shop is 50km from town. Any information in this regard would be grateful. Thanks. And Happy New Year to everyone on here.” P.

unccpathfinder Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 i wouldnt reuse the seals... for my wd21 with bearings w/races and seals it will be right along the lines of $80 but i dont have LSD...those cost about 80 a piece so it'd be like $200ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder_Rookie Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 I wasnt planing on it. The seals are really cheap $10 for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
