Beastmode panda Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 After tightening the drive shaft nut on the weekend the front wheels don't spin freely? They're proper grindy too. I've just ordered new wheel bearings so hopefully that will be my answer? Any ideas as to why they are so tight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Are you using non abs shafts?And dis you move the car withouth the drive shafts in? Edited November 12, 2013 by turbo Grant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Try giving the shaft a tap with a coppe hammer and recheck sounds like bearing not sat right Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I had it with my gt the shaft was hitting the hub, can't remember what I did think was new bearings as I towed it without shafts in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Did you torque the nut to the right spec? Over tightening will cause bearing issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
