Front wheel bearing woe
« 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  :)

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.
