Ex Member Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) It would be very hard to overtighten hub bearings. The symptoms would be bearings that get hot. They won't make noise. Edited March 21, 2019 by Red90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Noise from a hub is almost always brakes or something rubbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim2809 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I would also check prop uj's as can't see anything on hubs would make it squeal only when pulling uphill. Prop uj will squel when loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Hunter Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 First off, introduce your novice friend to the forum and let him/her ask their own questions. They will learn far more then than receiving second hand comments. Regarding the OP post, I will not comment. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
