I've only done about a thousand k's with it so far so I'll keep an eye on it but I really do reckon that this stuff is worth the extra money.-------------As you all would remember, I shattered the inner CV on the rhs Half Shaft a while back and had to replace it -- too much torque = sweeeet -- so last week we swapped out the left one with another Repco shaft ( the cv's a quite a bit larger on these than the stock jobbies) just for that "piece of mind" thing and through a comedy of errors, this little problem then surfaced. Farken lololol. Ya reckon that might be a collapsed bearing???? hehe(Warning - Bloosted swears in the video)My advice, try not to drive the car if it gets this bad :( I'm not sure if the wheel and hub can 'actually' separate but for safety, don't take the chance please.I'm not going to get a new bearing pressed in or even get the hub with bearing installed and have that pressed in because I've read here and on the other forum that if you swap a bearing (hub) once, your likely to have to do it again and again and again so we swapped out the complete assy with one we got from Gawler wreckers on Saturday morning as I wanted to go on the High Rollers cruise that night but this one is sooooooo friggen noisy haha. Boy do I need noisy......and when I say noisy, I mean NOISY.A complete assy off a low km FG will see it all sorted this week Again, I have to remind myself that Roxy may be driven every day and be relied on, but with this sort of power, sh*t gunna happen............................... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hub can't come off as long as the nut on the half shaft stays on But it could definitely seize and lock up, causing all sorts of horrible damageBest not to drive it as you mentioned Bloody cars always something to do on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my rear right hub bearing replaced by Ford...you saying it will continually fail? Or are you saying if they did it properly (I.e. whole hub + bearing assembly) that that should be ok? That was a funny video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hub can't come off as long as the nut on the half shaft stays onYeah that's what I thought Wilko but didn't wanna commit to saying what you said only coz I wasn't positive.-------------Mainly from the other forum PeteIn a cupla threads, people speak of having to change them (bearings only) again and again.........My guess is that there is probably something else going on, and the 10 to 20 thou k mark was mentioned when change-outs were required.There was one guy that said -- IF I recall correctly -- his has lasted heaps long time <-- my words not his, but even the guy at my local Ford dealer suggested to replace the entire Hub (which comes with the bearings installed) as he knows of a couple of cars recently that have come back into their service center under warrenty when ONLY the bearings were replaced.Bottom line for me is that if I/we can find an entire, all genuine, low km one off an FG that HASN'T lived out in the weather all exposed and sh*t, then I would be better off going that way rather than run the risk of someone farking up when pressing bearings in Ford Mt Barker SA gave me these pricesBearing Kit $148.50Hub w/ Kit installed $289.60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the hub and bearing get pressed in from opposite sides ? Unless I'm a spaz and didn't do it properly haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
