    Wheel bearing replacement.

    Doing the rear diff yesterday, I noticed some movement in one of the hubs. Is it normal for them to have a bit of movement?

    Given how reliable these bearings seem to be I'm thinking of getting a second hand hub, as opposed to pushing in a new bearing.

    Hi

    Movement in the hubs is always a bad thing in my experience

    Thumbs up hubs

    I'd buy one hub from the wrecker, that feels Ok, and fit it, won't take long, and get the car back on the road. With my Renault I made a set of tools for changing the bearings. A big bolt and some pipe etc. If you do that you can overhaul the hub off your car and change one whenever you have a problem. Or get the Landrover shop to rebuild the spare hub for you. good luck simmo

    That sounds like the go simmo. I assume I can re-use the stake nut.

    What are you doing to your diff?

    Just put the difflock in - can't wait to test it out!
    I put an ashcroft lsd in the front last Wednesday, so it should be a good combination.

    Hi

    Great news, I am looking at an Ashcroft ATB very soon

    Did you install the ATB or the TruTrac?

    Did you end up changing the backlash on the diff or just bolt straight in?

    Unless the crown wheel and pinion are in new condition you shouldn't reset the backlash.
    Interestingly the crown wheel runout dropped from .09 to .04 - maybe due to arb having better build tolerances.



    I went the atb diff. From what I've read the ashcroft unit has more preload, and a higher bias ratio - so it'll shove more torque across.
    A mate and I went out last Friday and it's just great. A local hill that sees me cross axled had the wheels spinning (as usual but a lot later), but there was enough torque transfer at 1600rpm to spin the other side front and up it went. I couldn't do that line before unless I was going to use a silly amount of momentum. But it almost crawled up it.

    The pre-load is enough to spin my road tires on grass and mud without having to 'spin' the diff up.

    I was concerned about understeer, but it's made no difference. But it does pull up better in the wet, and reacts to the camber of the road s lot less.
