I'd suggest tightening the castle nut and see how loose this is first, the bearing may last a little longer if it has come loose, but it could just be wear and tare. u may have a point here... this problem only started after i left the car in a back street garage to have a clutch done( i should have just done it myself) maybe the took the drive shafts out completely... hmmmm... ive been trying to trace back everything they would have loosened to get the gearbox out to change the clutch... i personally wouldn't have taken the shafts out of the hubs but maybe they did and didnt tighten them back up..... i will check this out later before order wheel bareings......:thumbs: [Edited on 13-12-2004 by Siberia]

	Are the bearings hard to change? J/C, cause ive got a 2 ton press, was just wondering how hard they are to do!

	cool... i'll get some new ones tommorrow and get it sorted.. cheers for the help:thumbs:
lee mitchell	posted on 12th Dec 04 at 18:20
	yea there the same
Siberia	posted on 12th Dec 04 at 18:19
	next question are corsa 1.2 8v front barings the same as corsa gsi ones? the reason i ask this is because i have a 1.2 8v but have a c16xe under the hood... i never changed the barings when i was doing the conversion:o theres no point in me buy 1.2 8v ones if there gonna be fecked afetr a month of to with the bigger engine...

	front wheel bearings arent really diy jobs unless you have a hydrualic press, i doubt youll ever get the bearing out the hub without one
AdamF	posted on 12th Dec 04 at 17:33
	up and down play is usually wheel bearings, and side to side play is track rod ends or the steering rack its self

	and dont leave it too long, cos it'll fuck ya hub :mad:
lee mitchell	posted on 12th Dec 04 at 10:06
	yea it fucked.the bearing is pressed into the hub carrier then held by 2 cirlips. then the hub is pressed into the bearing
Siberia	posted on 12th Dec 04 at 10:01
	if when the car is jacked up i can shake the drivers side wheel.... does that mean that the wheelbaring is fooked? ball joints are new top mounts are new and the track rods are new.. the car under steers badly on left hands bends... wheel spins in second gear when turing left under medium trottle and the drivers side wheel locks up under very light braking also how is the hub held onto the hub carier? :o:o [Edited on 12-12-2004 by Ian] [Edited on 20-12-2004 by Siberia]
