Brakes or Bearing...or something else

Re: Brakes or Bearing...or something else

hey, another thing....my stock wheel studs should fit the moser axle shafts, right?

Lug Pattern; 5 x 4.75 in.?

Yes, it should fit the moser.

Yes, the lug pattern is 5 x 4.75, or 5 x 120mm <<which is the same thing.
You could even fit a 5 x 120.65mm bolt pattern, but that's a whole different story.

If needed, the lug size for f-body's is 12mm x 1.5

Hockeyman you are not relating accurate info to others 5x4.75 is the same as 5x120.65,5x120 are BMW P.C.D wheel spacing not being a perfectionist which I'm not just want accurate info so no one be mislead,thanks.
jbmetal wouldn't it be easier to get one from TACreations or some other salvage yard like Hawks Third Gen,FBodymotorsports and put it on a lathe to confirm straightness or it is running through also.
The Lug size that you give isn't all that is important that just give the thread pitch what about the knurled size which is very important that is the size of the spline area on the wheel stud that goes through the flange on the axle shaft,std size on that is 505"

Re: Brakes or Bearing...or something else

First, I just have to say that i love all the help you can get from the members here. So :tup: :tup: .

Jb, I am having very similar problems with my left rear axle myself and am actually going to my mechanic in like 20 min. because of it. I had a new "used" axle put in about 2 weeks ago and when the mechanic put it in he said that the bearings were fine and only changed the seals for me. Now since then i have still heard metal friction when i would make gliding left turns and on 1 day every time I applied the brakes a louder squeak was coming from the back left.

Now i know my pads are still good the caliper is not bent or warped and the rotor was replaced as well so I'm hoping when the bearings get replaced that should be the culprit. (Just wondering why a mechanic wouldn't go ahead and just put new ones on as he's doing the job.)

Anyways I absolutely hate hearing noises from my car as good of condition the whole thing is still in (2002 30k miles Y87). I'm sure you do too... lol
