The Good & The Bad
The good news is I was able to get my car onto a friends rack Thursday. A friend who is also a mechanic! Just wnted to check things out and see if I could find the cause of an annoying shimmie.
The bad news is, we found the cause of the annoying shimmie!
1. Bent right rear wheel- inside edge of wheel is definitly bent
2. Both rear wheel bearings are bad
3. Right rear parking brake cable is busted
So, does anyone have a 17" x 9.5" right rear wheel that their willing to part with at a fair price? Or how about a good place to buy wheel bearings? I'll check with my local NAPA tomorrow. Is there a place or certain brand I should avoid? I don't think the parking brake cable will be all that bad. Needless to say, this news didn't make the wife to happy :mad
AH!! the joys of Corvette ownership, Ya gotta love it! :chevy :steering:
