Hi all...I have a 2 part question that hopefully someone can help me with.
1. It seems I can't tighten the front wheel bearings quite enough to get to the "tightness" that I want. The adjuster doesn't want to turn in any more and I don't want to force it. Is this an indication of not enough grease in the bearings? 2. I have the front wheels off the car. When I spin the hub and rotor back and forth I get a slight knock when the rotor starts and stops. I can really feel it in the strut also. Is this normal? Am I explaining this properly? It is not wheel bearing slop. Thanks, Mike |

1- The "book" spec is: Tight enough that you can just move the washer behind it with a screwdriver. (Yes, that's actually what it says.) I'm pretty sure you should not be able to run out of threads, unless you're missing the washer or maybe have the wrong one in there?
2- I can't tell exactly what you mean. Do you mean when you spin the hub as in the wheel is rolling down the road? Or do you mean rotating it around the strut, as in the steering wheel is being turned? --DD |
