1991 Range Rover Classic w/ ABS
Left front knuckle
According to the driver (my wife) there was no noise, warning, grinding, explosion or fire. Of course, her genius husband did not check the oil every 6 months.
When I looked at it, I could not turn more than about 10 degrees left.
Took it apart and the images are attached (if not I can email them to you).
Before tear down, the 1200 to 600 axis showed no slack and I assume the upper and lower swivel pin bearings are ok.
The grease, what little there was, was brown as if mixed with water.
- hub assembly
Looks ok.
- swivel pin housing
Looks ok. Some small scrapes but nothing deep.
- CV Joint
It's toast.
- Swivel ball
The swivel pin housing has some metal sheared off from behind the lower swivel pin bearing and a bit to the sides. Close to the bearing but not into the bearing.
Suggestions? Please.
Comments? Please.
Thank you.
