Hello all, I have a strange noise coming from the driver side rear wheel I can't identify, hopfully someone can help.... (My car is a '69 Fastback with an AT). It doesn't do it all the time. When it does act up, it makes a sound like a squeak/clicking sound that is rythmic in nature. That is, it seems to make it at a particular place in wheel rotation. I pulled the rear brake drum off and inspected for any strange rubbing spots (the rear nut was torqued tight as it should be) and saw none. I checked the CV joint with the 'pull' test and all seemed tight in that area. About the only thing left would be the wheel bearings(?). If it is the wheel bearings, how difficult are they to change and are any special tools needed to do it? (any pressing in/out needed here or just simple knock the bearing out and replace it situation?). Any help/info would be appreciated. Regards, Tom "Flamin' Fastback" Cloud P.S. I could also use an original oil bath air cleaner for my carbs. Anyone have one I could pick up from you? (My FB has been converted to carbs by a previous owner). ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
