Wheel bearing sounds like a good place to start. Maybe grease any ball joints. If you replaced the wheel stud, does the head of it the same as the others?
Last year, when i was replacing front studs and a drum, I had a hell of time finding the correct parts. Until I broke out the micrometer...
I have a TRW/Thompson, I believe, Model 0.96 steering pump and I'm looking for a rebuild kit that includes the
bearing bushing. I'm really looking for the bearing bushing.
The pulley side of the shaft is plain and 0.675in. The other side of the shaft is 0.62in
I've seen the model 0.96 called...
Hey, Would you happen to have TRW power steering pump?
Mine is a TRW Model 0.96 with a .675 shaft, on a 68 Fury 3. The p/s pump is called the 'small' pump.
Just an update, I used a hammer and center punch to remove the seal. It is definitely in bad shape and brittle.
Ordered a new seal today, so we'll see what happens.
I love the way mine runs. The steering is so easy. The bearing looks good but definitely seems to be leaking at that spot. When the bearing and the shaft is in my hands, you can feel the shaft is worn a bit when sliding on the bearing. I know there is some kind of o-ring/gasket in there...
