bearing

Has anyone cut and sanded the locating dowel on the wheel bearing hub face (steering knuckle)? I have a spare LHF wheel bearing only but my RHS has failed. Thought either sides were interchangeable. Need it sorted urgently so would want to know whether it’s worthwhile to do. Cheers

I have a 2010 VE with the LLT motor which has spun a bearing, I'm trying to get it running for next to nothing but 2nd hand LLT or LFX are pricey. I can get a running LY7 out of an older VE for cheap. Would the LY7 internals fit in my LLT block to get me going (Not worried about a bit of power...

My original Bearing and rubber lasted perhaps 150000 plus km. VS series 2 , 6 cylinder , auto , live / beam rear axle Had the mechanic replace it and all OK for a few thousand Kilometres. Then failed and fixed under warranty. Now the second replacement is failing. I can hear that the tail shaft...

Hi, I bought a pair of Auto-Force shock absorbers and two Mackay strut mounting kits (bearing and bearing assembly/bush). After taking the old shocks off and disassembling, I noticed that the new bump stop and dust cover/boot (came with the new shock absorber) were both very different to the...

Hey there guys, Wondering if you can bolt on VE hubs onto a VY? I'm about to get some VF redline 'WIDE' wheels and I'm up for replacing the hubs too as I was in an acco. Was thinking if they bolt on it would be easier and the VE hubs new are cheaper that the VY ones I wouldn't have to...

Hi Guys, This weekend i'm doing a big service on my sv6 with my dad. Bought a new radiator (90 bucks), water pump (30bucks) and a pipe for the aircon (current one is leaking). I also have this annoying bloody squeak on cold start up that I want to get rid of (since I'm pulling apart a fair...

Hi All, Ever since I bought the car its had a slightly noisy thrust bearing. Sitting in neutral with the clutch in - no problems, clutch out you can here it - it sounds like a dry bearing noise... Anyway, I had it serviced a while ago and they must have lubricated it - as the noise went away...

Hi just, I got a m-76 manual conversion for my vk calais with a brand new heavy duty clutch kit. However after a week of driving, the clutch wouldn't engage properly, even with the cable fully adjusted. I took out the box and realized the throw out bearing had actually cracked where it pivots...
