Default Re: Rear Hubs loose?

if the axle nut is tight and you still have play it maybe that the race on the axle housing where the rear bearing runs is wore causing play, if not that its either the tapered hole in the drum is worn over sizes, or the taper on the axle is worn and to small to let the drum tighten, if its the drum or axle there is a shim that goes over the axle taper and when the drum is put on it takes up wear on either of those, i have used the shim and it worked good, but i dont put many miles on my A so i cant say how long they will work, they are cheap and might be worth your while to give them a try
