Put up with it until you can afford a GU front diff mate, worth every cent.
The plot thickens... This has happened twice now and I have a theory as to why it is happening.
Last time I adjusted the wheel bearings I think I bent the drivers side circlip that holds it all together. I did not have a pair of circlip pliers so used two pairs of pointy nose pliers and I think I've stretched it.
It has come off and allows a bit of movement in the hub, now my wheel hubs have come loose a couple of times and I think this free play is allowing them to come loose.
I will order a GU hub nut upgrade and replace the circlips (with circlip pliers)
I drove the car this week and noticed a noise coming from that hub so I am assuming it has come loose again. This should help with my braking too.
Have you got your new brake lines in yet? ?
They have been sitting on the book shelf in the lounge room since they arrived... LolQuote:

Ha ha, yeah nice. . Be good to hear how they go. GQ brakes definatly have room for improvement, especially with bigger tyres. . .Quote:

Winnie, awesome bus mate. Just wondering how the intercooler is nearly 2 years on? Have you had any dramas with it?
Hey mate, Nah no dramas at all! It's been great.Quote:

Oh sweet. You doing the lines as well?
Yep yep! It will be hard to know then how much of a difference the lines made because the calipers are going in at the same time but it will surely be a massive upgrade on the crappy GQ brakes!Quote:

Yeah mate gq brakes are crap and mime have seen better days anyway, plus our camper trailer does not have brakes and it was cheaper to do this upgrade than put brakes on the trailer.Quote:

Arb have got a locker special coming up start of next month... Locker, compressor and tyre pump up kit for 1195 plus fitting... Better book it in I reckon!
Ha ha, always something so tempting. That deep creek climb was a good showcase! The Jack proved how useful they are. What would you do, front or back?
