Had a good look today and i found DS to have TRE movement and PAS side to have wheel bearing movement. Easy fix so will sort those tomorrow and hope she flies through her MOT next week  ________________________________________ Team Nile 6 Team: 40.2 MPG 5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™  I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness  |

Yes, and by tightening it up you will remove that play.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

I haven't tightened it though bud. The wheel bearing is f**ked it's not the hub nut at fault. ________________________________________ Team Nile 6Team: 40.2 MPG 5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™ I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness |

Wheel bearings do fail unfortunately. If only tightening hub nuts worked every single time  ________________________________________  |

Obviously if a wheel bearing fails then yes, it'll need replacing.However, a lot of the time a bearing hasn't failed but the hub nut requires tightening to get rid of this movement. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

a wheel sealed bearing should never need tightening if it was tightened sufficiently and pinned in the first place. Sounds like the bearing is f**ked. over tightening the hubnut is likely to kill the bearing off for good.Stan I think you're wrong here. Get the bearing changed for a decent quality replacement, not a cheapy Chinese thing, else you'll be 'for ever tightening those hubnuts'... ________________________________________ 205 GTIXsara HDI |

It's been replaced. I done it last week now also replaced the TRE's as a pair even though only 1 was mullered. As said i didn't crank the hubs nuts up as iirc they should only be done up at 265nm which is what i put them to. ________________________________________ Team Nile 6Team: 40.2 MPG 5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™ I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness |
