Thread: Replaced Hub still slight hum

I changed my HUB with a cheap one, it started humming on the highway almost immediately. I replaced it today with an AC Delco hub. The Humming got much quieter but its still there (it changed pitch though).
i didnt use a torque wrench on the axle nut. Could i have over tightened the axle nut with the impact?

I did buy the cheapest ones i could find lol

You don't use an impact to tighten, especially important things, because as you know, you don't know how tight you got it. I highly doubt you got it too tight though.

You learned your lesson on why you don't use a cheap bearing too.

I bought these http://www.pepboys.com/tires/details...25203.8L/2WD/2

whats the torque on an axle nut supposed to be on one of these?

118 ft lbs.

You'd have to go extremely tight to **** up one of these bearings, they bearings dont really require a certain number to like preload them like pressed in bearings.

Ill swap the tire tomorrow, and see if the sound moves.
