Just to confirm, the front driveshaft / axle retaining nut (36mm BiHex) is the same tightening torque as a wheel bolt!? I read that the rear one was 70nm + 30deg ... Is the front 120Nm + an angle or just plain 120Nm? It just seems a bit low to me that's all.
I usually do a little slalom to listen for front bearings. Get up to speed, about 50 mph. Despress the clutch pedal and then do some pretty hard slalom. You'll hear if the noise changes. If it's stronger when you are going left, it's the right bearing and vice versa.
Yeah, when you turn left, and the sound increases, it's your right hand bearing. Worn bearings usually sound more when they have a larger load. The outer wheels in a turn will always have a larger load.hi Gus,
can you please confirm that when turning slightly left the noise increases that it is the right hand wheel bearing that need replacing.
the reason I ask is the noise sounds to be coming from the left hand side, but I appreciate that noise can travel and deceive the ears
cheers
