[QUOTE="VeeDubMan, post: 520139, member: 3552"] Had a Red 9 beam on my van for years now (but never driven it until I took it to be MOT a couple of months back) and it turns out there's a fair bit of play in the torsion arms moving in the tube. Grab hold of the disc/wheel top and bottom and you can hear the torsion arms knocking inside the tube. Got bearings on the outer edge but just wondering if I've missing some inner bearings? Not sure if the Red 9 beam has them and pretty sure the beam came pre-installed with outer bearings fitted. Got exactly the same symptom as this theard [url]http://www.volkszone.com/VZi/archive/index.php?t-371170.html[/url] and I've tightened up the grub screws as much as possible and still get some play and knock. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
