[urq] front end clink

[j.koenig]

Thanks for clarifying.  I've just been having trouble wrapping my head around the idea of 
using a shim(s) working in the axial direction to solve the problem of too much clearance 
in the radial (OD) direction.  I still think we're talking about apples and oranges here. 
If the idea is to shim the bearing axially, and that that will reduce/eliminate the 
*radial* movement and clunk, I think that's virtually impossible.  Maybe Dave's Loctite 
can be applied to the OD to eliminate the clearance, but I think the only solution is to 
somehow physically reduce the 'slop' between the bearing OD and the housing ID.  Good 
challenge!

I am assuming OD problem.  Wrench actually reprod the sound (over 2 dozen
times) as the bearing went in.  That said, I'd have to assume a shim along
the lines of a thicker Circlip or some way to add width there to "really
seat the bearing and eliminate any micro movement under load.  Mike V was
not sure of the exact fix.  Many have said they have this problem and live
with it. I think with more tinkering we can eliminate it.
