Topic: axle bushing clearance
In working on a Ninco Vette I noticed what seems like excessive play between the axle bushings and the rear axle..so much so that the axle can actually move up and down enough to change the pinion to crown gear alignment..no problem right? - just replace with new ones as they must be worn out..well new ones are just as sloppy- I've seen the super glue trick performed and although scary( as I could envision myself gluing everything up solid) I was thinkin that's what I'd do but I think I have another idea. I'm thinking of making a tool than would have a center shaft either exactly axle diameter or one thou bigger with a concave shoulder say ten thou bigger that I could slip into the bushing and then tap or hammer to squeeze the bushing to a tighter spec. I am wondering if such a tool already exists or if it's been tried before. Any thoughts?
