    Doing rear hub seals, tear it down and whack the spindle with a hammer. Its not ringing like it should. Took off the seal wear ring, still no ring. I cant see the crack and it sounds like it wants to ring but cant. Could it be my imagination?

    Is this SOP when doing seals?

    Never heard of that, but I do tap the drums when I adjust brakes.

    Put it back together.

    I have never based the integrity of an axle tube/ housing by the ring of a hammer.

    But I could imagine that different housings may sound different. Never tried it.
