Everyone

1st off, on saturday i changed over all my brake pads. in doing this i noticed my passengers rear wheel hub nut was loose! So tightened up.

Since that day, when i drive there is a horrible squeaking/rubbing sound coming from that rear passenger wheel.

The noise only starts after 10mins of driving and then get really bad. After another 10 mins eases up abit but still noticable.

Also when i turn left, no sound.

I thought it could be the wheel bearing? but there is no movement if i jack car up and rock wheel. Also no sound if i jack car up and manually turn wheel.

Before i go anywere anyone have any clues?

Your hub nut needs to be torqued up to 220NM and then staked. If the nut has been loose you really need a new nut that you can torque up correctly and then stake.

If its loose you can get some weird noises squeaking noises from the rear of your car as the drive shaft splines move slightly in the hub. You also run the risk of the hub coming off if the nut comes off!
