Wheel slop
I just got my front wheels back for my 1450 from the local shop yesterday. I went to install them last night and noticed there is some side to side slop. There seems to be some travel laterally on the spindle . Is this normal ? It looks as if the shim or washer on the mounting bolt does not press firmly against the wheel due to the new wheel bearings having a slightly wider inner collar. I do not know it's original good condition as the wheel bearings and tires were shot when I got it. The best way to describe what I think it may need is another shim that rides over the wheel bearing to fill that gap.
Looking at the parts diagram on CC.com , it looks like the original wheel bearings have that beveled inner collar also. Unless that movement is ok , but I cant see anything good becoming of that travel over time.
This is also not the slop in the spindles where they mount to the front arm , that is another issue to be dealt with .
