[Mk2] [Turbo] Rear hub nut coming loose

Post by arome »

recently i had an MOT where it was pointed out that the rear hub nut was loose i tightened it and replaced the split pin. it once again seems to have come loose. i cant think of what it could be i have a replacement bering but im not sure that this is the problem so i thought id ask on here.

Do you have the cover on it mate? It's like a metal cap with bits cut out of it so the nut doesn't turn once you've put the split pin through.

thanks for your responce but i think i have it sorted. i just phoned rouge and got some advice basically what i thought that the brearing is knackerd and needs replacing he also said there was little chance that it had worn the hub so just a bearing kit should do the job.
