That’s correct dave. The new under Armour clothing are Great as it’s skin like material on the outside and soft fabric on the inside. So no grit can get through. Even the new face protection I’m using are pulsar XARC. no harmful clutch dust can get through and no oily debris can pass through the fabric to get to the skin. I’m always on the lookout for new technology. I’m trying to negotiate an exoskeleton that runs along the spine to the shoulder. Fingers crossed.

I said it was from the box, I took the box down, I changed bearings, after 2 weeks it started again ... 2 weeks ago I also changed the box, I bought another box, I mounted it and today it started again .. What should it be? Should it be a wheel bearing? But why does it make noise only when the box is engaged ... I'm bleached with annoyance ... I'm waiting for an answer, thank you very much. Health
@WMCS3 жыл бұрын
It sounds like the wheel bearing.., to be sure 1. Wheel off the ground. Spin it by hand with one hand on the coil spring. Whichever wheel you feel vibration in the spring whilst spinning is the faulty one.

Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow. I don't play wheels, that roar doesn't do it all the time. And there is something else. It sounds roaring on the right line, if I turn right a little, the sound stays, and if I turn left the sound disappears and reappears as I steer the steering wheel. It tells me something is the right front bearing. Now it must be seen and checked, tomorrow I will check and after I fix the problem, I come back with an answer. I noticed you took your boy with you. Isn't he passionate about mechanics? To enjoy it is the greatest blessing, a child. Only good and RESPECT MAN
