Halo clunking

Well I've got a spare shaft and a few other little bits from my magna kit, any ideas DS?

After a bit of thought one thing that seems viable is if there is any play in the drive cone bearings this could potentially cause the shaft / drivecone excessive side to side movement and therefore a clunk.

I put a bit of oil in the bearings, it has quietened down a bit but still clunking.

No amount of oil will fix worn bearings.

I would try packing them with some lithium grease. (ala car wheel bearing)
Failing that see if you can find a local bearing centre to match one with the stock halo bearings.

Ah, I have some of that next to me, how much would you recommend me putting in?

As much as you can fit in!

If it works it will only be a temp solution. At least it will prove the point as to what is wrong.
