elliejake Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 For a couple of days Ive had a rattle coming from the passenger front wheel, yesterday it went off but noticed the centre wheel cap missing, on closer inspection the Drive shaft retaining bolt was missing. It must have been loose a few days and when I was driving at speed its pushed the centre cap off. Would it be ok to use the car for a day or so?

stef123 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I wouldn't use the car without the hub bolt! You will ruin the bearing if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliejake Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Thanks, I had the bearing replaced 3 month ago. They obviously have not tightened the bolt correctly... Cant get a replacement today and needed to be some were.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alz Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi , Always use a new hub retaining bolt,, Stage 1 tighten 45Nm / 33lbf ft. Stage 2 Angle-tighten a further 90 Degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
