Hi Pim

F. F. F. F. Tight :) ...... I think you get the message...
Mine moved even with 250Ft/lb (which is hard enough to do anyway! Also hard to do with the bodywork on.... :rolleyes:

I have tried to tighten the nuts of both rear wheels. The right wheel was ok at 250 Lb/ft but the left one still has play at 300 Lb/ft. I did'nt dare go further, but it the bearing does not seem to move that last bit. Put some rings behind the nut to make sure there is enough thread left but stil no good.
Any help what might be the problem????

IIRC the inner bearing (bit that slides over the hub) is a two part bit, inner and outer. Once clamped up it would take up the correct amount of movement around the ball bearings. It sounds like the inner and outer bits of this aren't touching in the middle, thus the hub wobbles about.

As long as the bearing is solid in the upright, and the nut is tight, then if you have play, it's down to the bearing itself I'd say.
