  1. Hi all.

    Im a little worried that my Hub bearings are on the way out. I'm not sure what the tale tale signs are but i find my steering doesnt self centre fully, it goes back and stops at about quarter lock.. are there any other signs I should look for?

    Also how do i test to see if it is the bearings for sure?

    Thanks
    Jon
     
  2. It's more than likely the bearings. Disconnect the track rod ends and see if you can turn the hub by hand. If it's stiff they've had it.
     
  3. ah lovely. Thank you :smile:
     
  4. its mainly the not self centering and usually youll get a squeel when turning the wheel when stationary. common problem
