Re: hub bearing keeps making noise
Are you using an air impact wrench to remove and reinstall the axle nut? That can destroy a wheel bearing. Hand tools only!

Re: hub bearing keeps making noise
Well, that may be part of your problem. The factory spec on torque for the axle nut is 170-203 ft/lbs. That's a LOT of torque. My only caution was not to use impact tools.
If the axel isn't properly torqued to the hub, you will get a lot of noise. You need a pretty big torque wrench to reach up that far--one with a long handle for leverage.
