Re: EM 63 axle bearing

Replaced driver side axle bearing assembly (from California Corvairs, a lot cheaper and way better part) and this fixed the noise problem.

Re: EM 63 axle bearing

Got this tip today on the "other" forum. I tried it and sure enough, replicated the sound and was LOUD on the driver side, the one I didn't replace, smooth and quiet on the passenger (replaced) side. Pulled the driver side axle, disassembled as far as I could, not a sign of grease anywhere...

Re: EM 63 axle bearing

I took this "video" this morning of me driving the car a mile down our blacktop, turning around and coming home. Phone was sitting on back seat of my car face down. You can hear the noise I've been trying to describe. Again, it's all the time, braking, clutch pushed in, taken out of gear. ...

Re: EM 63 axle bearing

The video is of the car sitting on stands in 4th gear, running at idle. The noise doesn't stop when clutch is engaged while driving or on stands, braking also doesn't affect the noise while driving.

Re: EM 63 axle bearing

It's pretty loud, makes me cringe to drive it very far. Was doing this prior to putting the new tires on.

Brand new tires. Definitely something rubbing, not really a grinding or thump. No vibration, car runs and drives great.
