NickJ Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Just brought a new single race deep grove bearing for the rear axle of the lada, how much axial play is normal? there is enough that I feel it may be an issue (especially at wof time) but i'm sure there should be near to none? As its not a factory part, I picked it up from saeco, could it be designed for a different application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Give saeco a call mate, they will know what they sold you and if it's correct. Plus if there's any doubt then they can replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 You will be able to feel the axial play in a ball race bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'd say the Single deep groove ball should be less than .2mm axial unless it's a massive bearing (by wheel bearing standards).. (Yeah big generalisation I know) but say a 6008 N would be 0.08 to 0.15 or thereabouts EDIT: that would be the unmounted clearance, likely to tighten up a bit once mounted.

Ah right you are about getting tighter with mounting, i'm just paranoid about it not being right and having to pull the thing apart on the side of the road somewhere (or worse) even more now that I can't find any wheel kits in the country, anyone know of another car that has a rear wheel bearing 80-40x23mm?

ajg193 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Contact Franklin Bearings, they are pretty good at sourcing stuff (No idea who is good in Christchurch though) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
