VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 rear wheel swinging

Lifting my car, I see that the rear wheel swinging.
I got that the wheel nut is loose.

First question: I'd like to know how much I have to tighten the nut (much or little).
I ask this question because it seems that if I tight to much the nut, the wheel dont spin very well (is it braked?).

Secon question: I have also seen that there is oil on the leaf spring.

Might it be differential oil that it is released from the oil seal because of nut loose.

If wheel is loose like that and the nut is snug, is the Hub secure on the shaft end ?? all the way on ??

and are your bearings seated properly... moving like that looks like a bad or improperly installed bearing.

So I can tighten very much the nut that lock the weel, is it right?
Secon question: My bearings are seated properly. Can the oil on the leaf spring be the differential's oil that is leaked from the oil seal? Can it depend on the loose nut?

Thank you e saluti dall'Italia

Take your differential plug out & see if you have too much oil in the rear end, a leaky tranny will send oil to the rear end & leak out of the wheel seal, lower the oil level to see if it stops, but you will need enough oil to lub the bearing ahead of the rear end. Could you have a bent axel or wheel? The axel nut should have a cotter key.
good luck

Thank you Leon.
I have demonted the nut and ... surprise: I dont have oil in the differential.
The oil seals is damaged?
I continue the discussion in the new topic: "ther'isnt oil in the differential".
Thanks all.
