Hi there, just a quick query ref the back axle that I fitted and forgot about 10 years and 30,000miles ago.
The Salisbury axle is a real lump and having spent my lifetime as an engineer of the old school I do like to have mass in a stressed component. It certainly satisfies that requirement!
Preparing for our annual trip I have noticed that there is end float on the halfshafts, between the circlip and the driving member. About 2.5mm.
Should there be a thrust washer between the circlip and its mating face? Is it o.k. to run it with this clearance?
Any advice would be welcomed.
Many Thanks Labranda.
