im having trouble with my hub and sub axel..

[Guest ON3GO]

well i packed the bearings, and put the seals in.. i torqued it to 22 ft lbs and the hub moves abit.. a tenny tinny bit, but u can move it..

i went as high as 34lbs and its the same thing.

any ideas?

 

btw the wheels look AWESOME on the car, its juts looks like its gonna rub on the very front of the fender...

hmmmmmmm

and they dont stick out very much either ...

spin the rotor as you progressively tighten the nut. You may feel a "pop" (which I have no idea what it is, but...), then back it off the recommended amount. (make sure the washer with the tab in the middle of it is in the spindle groove)

[Guest ON3GO]

ok ill do that.. so only 22lbs??...

ill give that a shot.. should the hub fit snug without ANY movement?

I can't recall the torque required to "set" the bearings. I propably go over this when I set mine. The hub should have no play in it, even when the nut is backed off the recommended amount after setting the bearings. Some very small amount of preload will still exist.
