Beam camber
#1
Am i right in thinking that camber on a rear beam is caused by the bearings going?

If its true how hard is it to change them and is there a guide anywhere? Smile

generally once the beam has started to camber to the point where you notice it, its damaged the trailing arm pins. No use putting new bearings in then unless you also do new pins which iirc are about £80 each. I would say go and buy a second hand known good beam but thats becoming difficult. most are going down hill now!

Fair one, never had a great understanding of what would cause it but figured id ask, may get this one refurbed depending on price

generally the bearings break down which causes the pins to wear unevenly and can also damage the tube basically making the entire thing scrap!

then, depending on the state of them, might need pins as well

OOOR for the same price as that^ You could buy the 2 shafts and bearings needed for the whole refurb.

They can't be any worse than the worn, knackered shafts that are 100k miles old.

Axles are fairly disposable and easy to change. just keep throwing them at her. less than £50 a go over here.

Or pay £90 and rebuild one that will last a good number of years.
