Noise from right rear
I was all good and ready to change all the u joints. Even after reading the wheel bearing threads. UNTIL....... there was this grinding sound comming from the right rear. Hmmmmm.
So now i am firmly in the wheel bearing camp. Does anyone have a link to these teflon washers? Also, is there a preferred wheel bearing and supplier? Thanks everyone! |

Try Corvette Central IIRC. They were able to get some in not that long ago. Based on the appearance, they look to be clones, but something is better than nothing.
Good luck. |
Guess it makes sence to replace both rear bearings at the same time as the other side cant be too far behind.

This is old school, lift the left wheel off the ground and the car in neutral. Place your hands at 12 and 6 and try wiggling the wheel up and down. If the wheel moves it is usually the wheel bearing. With the hand at 3 and 9 you can also check the tie rod ends for play. We do this for tech inspection at autocross and HPDE events as part of the inspection process.

Here is a link to the washer. https://www.corvettecentral.com/c4-8...r-inner-584093
I simply reused mine. I was getting the clickity clicks. First from the right side and a couple months after I swapped that one, the left side started. I bought cheapo Amazon ones and lathered on the anti-seize on the stubs. No more sounds and the car handles much better at speed. |
