Take the wheel off the car and remove the dust cover (if fitted) from the centre of the brake disc. This will reveal a castleated nut. There should be a split pin through this nut. Remove the pin and check that nut for tightness. If this is loose you will have the problem you have mentioned earlier. Once tight use o new split pin and replace cover with a new one becuase you will damage the old old getting it off and bolt up the wheel. | |

if the wheel baring was faulty the wheel would be wobbling around and not be true... the caliper is fixed so it cant be at fault... | |

well we had a new wheel bearing put in, but it was fine for a week, but now its making a clunck. its defo catching on the inside wheel, marks everywhere. all bolts r tight, ones which hold calpier on to hub, and one to hold pads in. just REALLY REALLY weird. plus when on full lock right it does it to, occasianally tho. just stripped it down for him tonight to have another look, everything looks in the right space:mad: | |

a spacer may ruin offset of wheels. | |
