#1: hub rotten? Author: paulspug, Location: Spalding lincolnshirePosted: Tue Jul 10, 2012 10:12 am ---- hi all
well i had a knocking - found the wheel bearing with lots of play (o/s front) and replaced it. knocking gone.
however
Not even 24 hours later and about 20 miles driven , there is play once again in the wheel-same as last time . i have not driven it since checking, but can almost be assured the knocking will return. A bad bearing? worn hub?Maybe the driveshaft is worn?
i,m in need of some advice please.
The bearing i got from unipart. Number UGCGHK1377
I stripped the hub off and took it to a local garage to press out/in .
Thnx in advance for any help

Can hubs just wear suddenly??
I guess it didnt help that i had to go to work for 4 nights with knowing the bearing was bad. Would this cause the hub to warp?

#6: Re: hub rotten? Author: paulspug, Location: Spalding lincolnshirePosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 2:52 am ---- new pinch bolt.
ok, if i grab top and bottom of the disc it has movement, about 2-3 mm.If i remove the disc it still has the same movement.It has had a new bearing fitted, so i'm guessing its either badly put in or some sort of wear on the middle splines?
It also had a new cv joint put in about a month ago.
Think i.ll have to strip it (again) and take a film of the problem and post it.

It turns out that the 1st mechanic used a hammer and small socket to fit this bearing - hence the wear.
The second bearing was done by another mechanic and no problem at all.
However
Its been about 6 weeks since this second bearing was done , and yet again i have movement in the bearing
so now i am puzzled as to why it has gone already?
I have checked everything , and all seems to be ok, so why this is worn is annoying , and beggining to chew the cash up :/
so please if anyone has some advice in what to check or maybe have an idea why this is wearing so quick i would appreciate it
