R & R Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Spline wear that is. While doing the 36000 mile service I decided to pull the starter & see how things were looking. I was a little scared at what I might find being an 02 but decided better than finding out on the side of the road. Eyeball measuring at the edge of the disk I get about 1/16 inch of movement. Maybe a touch less. After 15 or so pages of searching,the only reference I could find was someone had about 1/8 inch @ 70000 miles. So where abouts am I ? Normal wear.. advanced..call 911? I was just really glad I wasn't seeing 1/4 inch. Appreciate the input.
Jim Moore Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I think that's a good number. I'd start checking it every 12K, but I wouldn't worry about it too much.
David R Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Be checking mine this weekend. I will post what I find. I looked at the spline @ 107,000 miles. Its been 30,000 more. David
R & R Posted July 25, 2012 Author Posted July 25, 2012 Thanks Jim. Nobody seems to disagree so I'll put it on the maintenance checklist and mosey on down the road. With a bit less to worry about.
