The weak.Been seeing a few here, lately!
Quite a few years ago, a neighbour of mine called to ask if I knew much about Chrysler rear ends. He called the right guy. He was a Chevvy guy, and had a 1966 Nova SS that somebody had put an A-body Mopar 8 3/4" rear end in. He had it up on jack stands and noticed the rear wheel bearings were really sloppy. We pulled the rear brake drums off, and I noticed this clip was missing from the bearing adjuster. Of course, the axle bearing clearance was all out of whack. I went home and got my gauge and magnetic stand, and a spare clip. I went back, and set up the axle clearance, and installed the clip to retain the setting. My Chevvy friend was amazed! He had never seen this before. Tapered bearings vs GM ball bearings.Oops looks like someone forgot where this little tab goes. "I'll just put it here for now"
Funny things you find taking a car apart.
