Just installed new ones... with the amount of play in these bearings... the rear susp would wobble just going down the street!!

Do they tighten up? or whats the deal?

Do I need to get new one's? headbang.gif

Did you pull/push the rear hubs into the bearing?
Joe Bob
Hubs and axles in? Castellated nut tight?
Aaron Cox
SKF's start suuuper sloppy. but they pull in tight.
Andyrew
Bearings where done by mike, using a press.

hubs in, axles not.

andrew, eric put mine in my trailing arm with hubs... floppin all over the place...

torque the stub axle nut to 240? or look it up...

no more play

Well.. you've heard it from slits... FAG's are tight!!

Anyways... I havent put the axles in yet.. so im sure with that in, it'll snug up good... If not... well... new bearing time.
Andyrew
tq???? TQ??? I just jump on it a little with a breaker bar... (normally)


but... I think I'll try and tq them.. (240 sounds right)... Maybe I'll just have dad stand on the bar at X location... he's around 240........ lol

There are two halves to a bearing. Until they are squeezed together, they will be loose as hell. When you tighten them up with the stub axle, it will resolve the problem.
