rear beam bearing queiry

[littleracer]

Ok,can anyone tell me other then the beam bearing's,what would cause knocking noise and movement in the trailing arms?

as I expect it's bearings but just wondered if anyone has had this and the cause wasn't the beam bearing's,but with the same symptons.

thanks peter

Stub Pins

which is also the bearing problem

[Mochachino]

Could it not be just the bearings though and the actual stub pin worn so its like an oval?

[williamsvts]

yeah, but generally, 1 wont be fucked without the other.

[Mochachino]

:( mine was lol, was quite severe on one side too the bastard thing. lol

if it was the stub pins like you have mentioned would this be a simple fix?

[williamsvts]

not at all. new beam or recon fucked beam.

if bearings gone them most def new rear beam as williams said as stub pins will be fucked.

i just had to fit a new beam to pass my MOT, i manadged to get one from a standard VT and put that on, it cost £150. The only shit bit was fitting the beam cos the uts arent tacked in place so trying to put the new beam on is shit hard, i ended up cutting two windows so i could tack the nuts down to tighten the beam on, then welded it all up after.
