I drive the crap out of my 914. Use it as a commuter most of the time now. Took a back road the other day, and almost beat my best time. Twisties are just too much for me to pass up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
All that, my front wheel bearings are loose again. These are new bearings with new rotors, and good quality bearings, not the flaps plastic retainer ones. I put them on about 4K ago, and checked them last night to find them loose. Old bearings came loose more than once. The locking washer is in place, and the locking screw on the nut is tight. Is this normal? |

Is this normal? No. Paul did a good writeup on the cause of this. It usually happens when the old bearings are forced out of the hub. Do a search here, he's got plenty of pics illustrating where the problem is and what to do about it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Andy PS: It appears i have the same problem. I tightened the front bearings maybe 3 month ago or so and now they are lose again. Time to take the hubs off and fix them ... |
