wheel bearing keep going in my 93 ranger it like the nut keeps loosening up on the frount wheel bearing every week they need retighten or replaced never had such a problem on any other car in befor

 

put some loctite on it

 

ill have to try that tomarow if it ant raining out

 

Isnt there a special way to tighten it?
Like tighten to 140 ft/lbs, loosen half turn, tighten again to 60 ft/lbs, stand on one leg, cover one eye, and make sure there is a full moon?

 

probly sounds like someing ford would do

 

Most every car with front bearings like that need to be tightened a certain way. Most people have their own theory. I can about get mine as tight as needed by HAND. So consider that...

You are using a cotter pin and locking ring correct?

 

Jamb nut tight?

 

I was about to start a thread..

my axle your only supposed to tighten by hand, but i'm having an issue with the outer spindle nut coming loose.. when i put it together yesterday i gave it a little tug with the ratchet attached to the socket.

 

dame dthings suck

 

no idea if your 2wd or 4wd but on my 4wd, i have to tighten up the first nut pretty tight first round, then back it off and tighten up again but checking the rotor by turning it to make sure its not over tight, then the second one gets put on with 150FT/LBS.

 

Ny thought too,shouldn't there be a cotter pin in there and a locking ring to hold it in place?
