Up/down Movement On Axle On Brand New Gt4094r

[nissan200sx.dk]

Hi.

I desided on a GT4094R from garrett. I have just recieved it, and first thing I noticed when turning the wheel was that there was alot of up/down movement on the axle.

When measuring it there is about 0.4mm up/down movement. Is this normal?? Seems to me that is alot? This is the bigget turbo I have had, so dont have expirence with a larger turbo. But on my other ball bearing turbos, also from garrett, there was not that much movement up/down. My last was a GT3076R, and it had basicly no movement up/down. I did not measure on the GT3076R exsactly how much so cant compare.

Thank you.

Yes its normal. Did you even try searching?

You have no oil in the bearings, as its brand new so .4mm is as close to nothing as it'll get.

Your 3076 would have been the same.

dont fry me for this but often i see these posts of "have you tried searching?" etc, wats the point in having a forum if everything has been covered 10 times and we're not allowed to ask the same questions? So what...maybe this has turned into a database where we no longer need forums.

Not bashing anyone particularly you Nismoid, you're a wealth of information and alot of what you have posted up on these forums has helped me pllllenty, i just dont understand why it matters.

I see it as doing those who take the time to post as bit of justice/recognition for it.

Like any source of information, the easier and more focused it is, the better it is.

If someone searches and posts questions in an older thread on the same topic, more information, easily located.

Plus quite often people take 20-30mins in larger posts, going digging over the net for links/info for users that might not otherwise be as skilled/know where to find it... Often people are not going to post the info up countless times, why should they? They took the time once/twice/thrice... surely they shouldn't a 4th/5th

If I may offer my opinion from personal experience (like you have a choice)

I actually don't mind answering a question for somone when I have answered it previously. It's what we are all about here. To provide as much information as we can to as many people who ask.

What annoys me, though, is when people post without thinking or without putting up the details of their vehicle.

Also stupid questions get me. Some of the content coming through here is rediculous in the last 6 months.

On the other side of the coin, though, you have to look at it like this: The more separate threads people create, the harder it is for people to search for what they want.

If everyone searched from the beginning, then they wouldn't need to ask the question snow because everything would be in easy to locate positions.

Fair call for both i reckon!
