Axle bearing problems
On my 69 Camaro with a 10 bolt, I put new studs in the axles, and while they were out thought it would be a good idea to replace the bearings.
The problem I’m having is the new bearings that I bought are too big. While it is only a tiny bit, I can still move the axle up and down a little and when I spin the axles it not very smooth almost rough. And yes, they are the correct bearings I went to Autozone, Pepboys and Napa all the berings had the same slop.
Now the next problem, the original bearings have no slop in them. I’m replacing them as preventative measure, as I do not have the money to buy new axles/rear end right now. The axles and bearing do not show signs of extreme ware and have less then 90k on them.
So my question is this, is something wrong with the axles or is something worn/out of speck that I’m not thinking of? Would it be ok to just put the old bearings back in?
