I Am getting a noise. Kind of a knock, knock, knock, noise when I take a sharp right hand turn. Also, where are you telling me to look to check the flanged hub? Is that on the inboard side? Can I check that with the wheel on? Thanks; Dave B.

While we are at it, how much movement should one get when one turns the axel while the Vanagon is in gear (engine not running)? Thanks; Dave B. |
