Hi guys. Greetings from Malta.

TEAM HD.

I suspect your slop problem is caused by a combination of factors. I have run MR4s for the last 3 or 4 years and have yet to find one without slop.

A couple of years ago Yoke produced hubs to take bearings of a bigger O/D. I presently run those on mine and it has partially solved the problem. Unfortunately they ever supplied cars with these hubs and bearings as standard. They have recently introduced some new front hubs - part number ZS-415S-1, but only for the small bearings, which means I can't use them. They give slightly different geometry.

A bigger bearing is always a better bet, so when you next need hubs and bearings I suggest you go for the big ones.

NEW WEB SITE.

Our club, the IRMCC has a new web site. Check it out on www.irmcc.com and let me know what you think guys.

Regards

Joe from sunny Malta.
