On the way north the noises sounded serious but Lube arrived at the Hampton Inn and his Corvair was in the car show. On Saturday afternoon Pat Hall helped Lube remove the left axle and they found the bearing very dry and somewhat worn. They re-packed the bearing and reassembled. Sure enough, knocking all the way, the car made it back to Albuquerque on Sunday. Replacing both rear bearings with good used ones has silenced the knocking noise. THANKS TO ALL WHO ATTENDED! SEE YOU NEXT YEAR IN MONTROSE! ==========================================================
