Title: Wobbly rear wheel causes
Post by: robosmurf on June 18, 2018, 12:29:15 am

84 c20. Full float rear end. The driver side rear wheel has a noticeable wobble. It's about 1/8th of an inch on the wheel rim. I put her up on stands and swapped wheels and the wobble stayed on the driver side so its not a bent wheel.

I don't even know where to start on a rear end like this. It's my first full float.

Should I start with bearings? Take it all apart and see what I got?

Check the wheel bearings

Had the same thing happen to my 85 C20.  Replaced the whole rear drum on mine

So I have the hub off. I'm going to take it to my local shop here to get bearings pressed in correctly.

How loose should the bearings be in the hub. Right now they booth are kind of floating in the races have a lot of play.
