Had a productive weekend, found a loose wheel bearing in my ifs surf, must of been when i put it on the flex ramp and it changed the angle of the wheel. Ohwell, couldnt work out how to adjust it, so i got this turned up at a local engineering outfit:



Its an adjustable cv shaft, so when you lengthen it, it pushes on the back of the bearing adjusting the play. Hope it works because it cost a bit to get made up.

looks like someone glued some 16mm reo bar between your cv's!! please get a better photo!!

edit: ohh and that is not how you adjust your wheel bearing either. get a workshop manual or even better take it to a mechanic before you try to use that toothpick axle you had made up.

Brought another tyre and a hi lift jack
