Re: [GrizHFMinimill] Fixing a Saab 9-3 with the lathe



Barry

I am sorry that I asked this question. In my opinion it was not entirely off topic because it was on run out of a wheel. However the group owner is always right. I will not post any questions on this group any more unless it is 100% On-Topic. 

My apologies once again to you the owner and rest of the members of the group for asking that question,

OK, this has now officially changed from an on topic discussion about machining car parts which should be discussed in a machining group to an off topic discussion about car parts and design which should be discussed in a car enthusiast group. This question has nothing to do with machining at all. 

Please stop discussing off topic questions. 

Thank you

Barry Young

This topic on cars is tempting me to ask an off-topic question to this highly knowledgeable group. I have observed that  steering wheels on all cars are always mounted with a massive run-out. The wheel appears to wobble when you try to spin it a full circle or more. TIR appears to very high in the range of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. I suspect it is done so for some good reason. Could anyone let me know why? 

Thanks
Prasad

Exactly. I had lost the key nut for removing the road wheels on my Peugeot. The cynical guy in the spares dept of the local agent said that there  is a number on the top of the nut, give him that and they can reproduce it for me. No nut = no number. To recover the number I can quote the chassis number and then they will provide a replacement. Cost of £25 to look up the database, plus £200 to for the replacement. I bought a new set of four bolts for £45. Made a mould of the existing bolt on a wheel. Then made a 'nut' from a piece of CRS, drilled holes to insert hardened studs to locate into recesses in the wheel bolts. Job done for the cost of some time of which I have lots being semi-retired and some metal. Total bill form the garage would have been lots of money.

Satisfaction in not being a benefactor the the modern day horse sellers.
