Put a new wheel bearing on my rear right wheel as it was in need and now when i drive the car it feels normal again but there is a terrible grinding noise when I take corners. and even some road noise when driving straight. Also it seems that when we test drive the car the bearing packs itself in tighter, and by doing this the hub becomes loose almost.
Any ideas before I book the magna into the mechanic????
Cheers, Ben.

use a tension wrench to torque the wheel bearing nut

then try again

if its a sealed bearing then a faulty bearing

if the taper type
if you use the old cone and only fit a new bearing

you will get that (grinding noise) for a long while

question

did you fit the new cone/ use new grease etc
