Suzzie "F" -- post test drive.

During the test drive, the motor worked fine.  But I noticed some grinding from the right front brake.

I took off the wheel and the pads are NOT worn.

The grinding was from the rotor rubbing on the caliper bracket.  I have seen this caused by incorrectly installed bearings.  (left side of my 1992.)


Pulling the rotor I noticed a LOT more space behind the hub than there should be.  On disassembly the clip on the rear of the hub was missing.  The seals back there had been gound to paste.  (Sorry, no pictures.)

I just replaced the hub with a spare.  (It is good to have a parts car!)
