Forty Rear End Noise
I'm tracking down a noise in a forty rear end. I'm getting a clunking and almost a grinding noise from the passanger side.
I'll pull the hub and check it out. But upon jacking up the car, I noticed the axle can move in and out laterally about a 1/16". Is that OK? While I'm asking questions, how can you tell if the hub and or bearing is bad? I've worked with many 9" rears, but this is my first banjo. Thanks in advance for your help. |

The 1/16" lateral play is normal and acceptable. With both wheels up, you might nail down the noise by hand turning one wheel and listen/feel.

The emergency brake was making noise inside the drum. Quick easy fix. Thanks for the feedback on the lateral play. It sure helps put my mind at rest. Thank you, Scott |
