Pegasus
.060 Over
Took my '05 Rocket to the shop because it was leaking coolant and felt clunky at slow speed. Turns out the coolant leak was from a bad radiator cap, but what else the mechanic found puckered me up good :!:
Turns out my right hand wheel bearing was shot and had allowed the rear wheel to shift to the right on the axel so it was wobbling slightly. The mechanic also found that the axel was bent and the brake caliper had been scratching the rotor.
Prior to taking it to the shop, Deb and I had taken a day ride around Lake Tahoe and back and until I noticed the coolant leak had been doing 85-90 mph. The Angels that ride with us could be the only thing that kept the rear end from locking up at 85+ mph :shock:
This is the second time I've had to have a rear wheel bearing replaced...and cush drive rubbers. My $600 extended warranty (4 more years) has already paid for itself 1 1/2 times over and this current repair will exceed $1200 easily :!:
