Knackered Hub?

Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

Just been sorting the car out as part of a prep for a rally I'm doing, and noticed that the drivers front hub has play in it, I noticed it whist checking it after putting the wheel back on.

 

Would it be the bearing, or knacked Hub?

 

I've recently bought a Diesel 205, would the hub fit from that, before I go and remove it!

 

Cheers!

as above, but most likely to be the bearing.

 

dont overtighten them though, there is a specific torque setting

DOH!

 

I had tightened it, but not to the right torque setting!

 

Got distracted because it was supper time :)

 

Lesson learnt!

 

Cheers chaps!
