well my wheel bearings came lose again. got the 50mm socket on it, tightened to specs. but there still lose. so i tighened the first nut to 80nm and the wheel still turns fine and is still a little lose

ive got new wheelbearings on the way, i am just thinking now maybe the housing could be floged out aswell? i have forgoten how it all gones in there but will i need a whole new diff housing or just the knuckel?

Will it go tighter if you tighten it more? check the thread for it being clean and not chopped up. If it's dirty then it will effect the NM reading...

its all clean. i even took the bearings out. still i cant get it tigher then 80nm. socket is just not deep enough

2.where they torqued to specs?

3.did you use the right grease?

4.whats your offset on your rims?

X2 I think Koyo's are what you find in the factory packaging , I could be wrong.

[jimbo_jones]

yep koyo are factory in many cars and 4wd's

KOYO = GOOD (and i'm not even a koyo distributor)

anything jap like FBJ, NACHI, NTN, KOYO, EZO or WTW are great.
then your european FAG, SKF, TIMKEN/TORINGTON

some bearing kits i see here are always japanese, but its pretty stupid when between 5 guys with over 100yrs experience in the game, no one can pronounce or reconise the brand. but they are still stamped japanese so the company isn't lying when it says it only uses jap.
