Title: Front wheel bearing woe
Post by: robg1984 on 16 February 2011, 16:23:30
 Ive changed the bearing on on wheel twice in the same amount of months admittedly they were second hand but its the same wheel bearing thats gone! Ive noticed that she pulls to that side so i have a tracking issue which will be getting sorted next week am just wondering if this could be causing the bearing to go any ideas to confirm or defunct this theory would be great  :)

they do get noisy and sloppy if you dont torque them up to the correct figure!!

it was torqued up to 110 nm which i think is about right and there was no play whatso ever a few days ago nows theres play at 12 and 6 and it looks like another bearing is needed :'(

110Nm is NOWHERE near enough....its closer to 300Nm (cant remember the exact figure at the moment)

Yep, 320Nm, remember from doing mine. 110Nm is the wheel bolt torque.
