dana 60 wheel wobble wont go away

[Tin basher]

Yes I would think taper nuts and seats in wheel would be lug centric
Look and see if its sitting on the radius at the bottom of the hub
It shouldn't be chevy has the smallest hub diameter
And most 8 lug mags are made to fit ford dodge and gm
Look at your wheel studs possibly shoulder of studs
is sticking past wheel mounting face so wheel isn't siting flat

All pro told me that my hubs were lug centric beacause they have locking hubs is that true work didn't allow me to look at it somemore today. But I have tomarrow. Off so ill look at it then

 

[Mace]

I have never heard that locking hubs = lug centric. My ford has hub centric wheels and locking hubs.

Got a chance to take a tire off during my lunch brake I don't see any abnormal wear although have u ever seen hubs like these

 

[smooresfab]

R my for hubs for a Ford got the axle second hand. Its Chevy side diff also they look weird to me.
my last set of hubs on a old Dana 60 I had looked like this

 

[Tin basher]

I think that's a dually hub that's had the wheel mounting flange machined off
to make it a srw hub
Or the rotors mounted on the wrong side more likely option 1
And on zooming in on your pic can see the out line of we're the nuts were holding rotor on
And the sharp cut line were it was turned down
Look on pirate there was. A thread on doing it
And I'm shure the poster mentiond he would only
Suggest trail use truck only
The wheel isn't properly supported

After doing some reasearch on dually hubs I think so too so I went ahead and disassembled them. And spun them on a buddy's brake lathe boy were they off

Now you need the "centering rings", right?

 

[smooresfab]

I don't know do I. Ifigured now that the surface is flat it shouldn't have any problems the wheel wobbled side to side not up and down so. Ithink ill be OK. Ill find out tomarrow when I put it all back together and test it I'd put it together right now but I need new hub seals as I messed mine up taking them out

 

[Fantasma-4x4]

Test with less caster angle, about 3°.

 

[smooresfab]

Ill try. The 3 degrees but the front axles is point in the right direction for the front driveshaft right now.

 

[Fast Eddy]

The wheels are hub centric and your hubs have had the centric part removed. The wheels are not set up for using acorn nuts to center them that way. I think you need the centering rings.

 

[smooresfab]

My rims have the v shape for acorn. Nuts I thought that meant they were lug centric the rears don't have any problems. Centering without any kind of ring well I guess ill findout. When I put them on later this afternoon

 

[liljlandon]

It's my understanding that he is having side to side wobble, not up and down so the wheel is centered on the hub.

 

[smooresfab]

It tottaly worked no more wobble Thx guys saved me on this one

 

[Tin basher]

Glad it worked out for you I would look for some proper swh
For it personally
As time and cash allow
Can see possible problems with stress on the wheel
Because of not having a flat mounting surface
Then again after having a weld forged wheel fail
on the front of my one ton I might be a bit gun shy
