[QUOTE="stinger124, post: 86149, member: 531"] Well, I got tired of sitting around this 900 sq ft. duiplex waiting on my new house so we can move into it where I will have a shop to work on my buggy.. Soooo Lastnight, I made up my mind to move what I could around in the garage and make room so that I would have some room to work on it, and take care of some things that needed to be addressed. Told my wife her car was gonna have to sit outside for awhile.. Now I got alittle wiggle room. [IMG]http://edit.81x.com/Authors/kamikaze124/IMG_3870.JPG[/IMG] I jacked the buggy up, and found that the wheels seemed loose out at Devins one day, and I thought that the inners might be loose, but I found that they were not.. So today, I started taking it apart to see if the wheel studs were wollered out. Here is what I found. As you can see, I can actually stick a dime in the between the two areas,, That is how much slack there is.. [IMG]http://edit.81x.com/Authors/kamikaze124/IMG_3871.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://edit.81x.com/Authors/kamikaze124/IMG_3872.JPG[/IMG] This is another thing that I found on several of the areas right by the wheel studs.. Not sure if I need to replace these or what ... (( Whats your opinion ?? )) Just to be safe, I think I will replace the rotors.. Still want your opinions just to be sure. I have never ran into this before. [IMG]http://edit.81x.com/Authors/kamikaze124/IMG_3875.JPG[/IMG] Also as luck would have it, I went to buy a new socket because I knew that my Dana 44 socket would not work so I went to buy the one for the Dana 60.....
