Anyone that points out spelling mitsakes and/or grammotical errors will be up before the Headmaster first thing Monday morning !!!!!

Ever since I bought the old girl three years ago there has been an annoying "rattle" from somewhere near the front wheels.At times it sounded like a bunch of keys fastened loosely to the back of the front bumper
On smooth roads everything is ok,but as soon as you hit even a slight bump or a bit of uneven road it rattles like a bag of spanners.
I have taken most things off,tightened whatever was left and replaced anything that looked a bit iffy.
I regreased the front wheel bearings yesterday and noticed some play between the splined shaft of the cv joint and the "bearing tube" it runs through.Both ends of the cv joint could be seen to move slightly,although when assembled the outer end is held in place by the end cap and six nuts and washers.
There appears to be a bronze bush of some sort,just behind the circlip about an inch from the end of the splines
The nice man at Toyota tells me that this bearing is available in three sizes,thus making the end float of the splined shaft somewhat adjustable.
There is no info via Toyota about the inner bearing,its a similiar shape but slightly different in dimensions.It isnt shown on their diagrams as being present ????
Both bearings are shown on the Roughtrax website,it doesnt look too hard a job to do,but has anyone out there done this job,and more to the point did it cure the problem,I cant just turn the radio up as someone suggested. Thanks in advance,Alan
