Re: 1976 Dodge D100 (Californian)

Re: 1976 Dodge D100 (Californian)

Cheers Dave Always good to hear another viewpoint with helpful information, but unfortunately the hub is bananaramerd I'm guessing that at some a bearing has let go and worn the bore for the outer cup away although in a very uniform way almost like it's been machined :scratch: Drivers side is 0 .1&q...
