spin out wheel noise?

mike paulson · Dec 8, 2011

i just recently took apart my 300s spin out wheels and sanded n wired them to almost bare metal, including jam blocks and harware etc and repainted everything. put everything back together and tightened it all up.
is it normal when on inclines or pulling a load to hear a popping sound coming from the adjustments like they are settling in or something. i have retightened once and still get the popping noise and was wondering just how tight do you go on those nuts???

Could be the stop blocks you hear as they make a "clicking" noise as the wheel turns. Probably being cleaned up makes the noise more audible.
To check, watch the stop blocks as the wheel turns & notice if the noise is in time with when the wheel turns.

NO, it's not normal. If they are tight there should be no movement and no noise. You might have to shim the blocks to get them tight (I've taken apart tractors that were shimmed)

Don"t panic. Re-torque the nuts, drive it a few feet and check them again. This is very common. When you put them back on you didn"t get them all tightened evenly and they shifted a little. So just tighten them and role them a little and repeat until you get them all tight. Merry Christmas.
