RoaryV8 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Right im just fitting all the new stub axle/beaqring to the rear of my RRC. Puuting the new bearing seat in place and as i knock it into the hub it suddenly drops to where it sits, ~But it moves side to side approx 2mm..... Im sure this bearing seat should be a tight secure fit, for the bearing to sit tightly into..... Checked it was the correct size bearing supplied and it is, and took the other side apart and that is fine with no movement. Could all this be down to a knackered hub??? and not just a bearinjg, which has caused the damaged stub axle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 It does sound like your hub is knackered, probably due to the wheel bearing failing, overheating and wrecking the hub.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
