Re: IML: 1960 rear axle question

It sounds like a simple case of the Axle bearing not being correctly adjusted. You will have to remove some shimes from between the backing plats and housing to tighten the bearings. You will need to take your time and carefully push one axle against the other to get them evenly spaced. I have always found that correctly adjusting the bearings is not a job you can do quickly, it takes a bit of time and paintents, regards George.

Subject: IML: 1960 rear axle question

After driving  150 Miles through the black forest, I felt the car running against the rear brakes.

 

The rear axel was delivered 100 % perfect repaired ( with  lots of picture documentation !)  by the “famous” JR and had only 5000 Miles since.

Today we unmounted the rear drums ad found a 2-3 mm play on the rear axle shaft.

Thus the drums moved also and the result  was a slight  braking.

Anyone made this experience?

We have to find some rings to mount on the bearings.

Any other idea ?

Or is something wrong in the diff?   

I cant find any hint on the imperial Web site .
