    2dr loose front wheel bearing

    gotta tighten front driver wheel bearing for rego.. it was replaced a while back by a mechanic while we were on holidays,

    ive tightened it as much as i believe it shouild be but there is still movement when you move it with hands at 12 and 6 o'clock , are the maxi drive front bearings same as rangie standards?
    Should i just replace the bearings?

    Tony

    As far as I know the bearings are the bearings, maxi drive axle/flange installation does not require a change of bearings.

    Tighten them up as tight as you can then back them off a half a turn (might need to check that). I am certain that there is a thread on the adjustment of wheel bearings.

    Have a read of this or use the search window below at the bottom of the screen is a window that will allow you to google search just this site.
