bob dunn Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 i am changing the trunnions on a mk3 spit . on screwing the new trunnoin onto the old thread, LH , it feels a bit sloppy does this matter, do new parts feel a bit sloppy . ??
Paudman Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Don't think I'd be happy with my front wheel held on by a thread that moves about.... how much movement is there? Rotational movement is ok - there should be light friction - but not side to side.
drofgum Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Bob,When threaded on to the working range there should be no perceptible motion between the vertical link and the trunnion other than the rotational motion of the steering function. Any slack in the thread indicates either a poorly made trunnion or a worn thread on the vertical link. All the best, Paul
bob dunn Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 ok these bits are not cheap and must be right for safety , so what is the spec on the thread o/d
Velocita Rosso Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 If new trunnion is sloppy I would inspect the vertical link ..........but still invest in a new one
