Burian Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi My Nam is Ian, been into MV's for as long as I can remember, pity I havn't had the money or time. Currently run a Volvo C303 anti tank vehicle, had it for approx 6 years, no major problems, runs like a dream. Latest aquisition is a Bedford MJ, again a good runner so long as you remember to put winter diesel in the tank. Had it for less than a year, intend to carry the Volvo to shows. Sods law, the front axle has a small leak from the centre, think its the seal behind a small circular end plate. Have added to the debate ref side bars as this was an issue for me.

N.O.S. Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Sods law, the front axle has a small leak from the centre, think its the seal behind a small circular end plate. Welcome Ian, that end plate is an enigma - take it off and you'll wonder what the point of it is :???. It appears to be designed to squeeze a seal into the gap between drive shaft and hub cap, but has to float to accomodate end-play in the drive shaft. Not a problem to seal up with an o-ring or silly cone stuff. Just check that the axle breather is not blocked, causing pressure build-up (I think there is a breather....:coffee:) Any chance of a pic of your Vovo C303 please?
