rear hubs
Hi guys,
Problably I am thinking to much about this and as so, i'm complicating things.
Anyway, my question is, when you thigthen the nut on the driveshaf to the specified torque it will push the driveshaft towards the outside of the car
and push the inside bearing to it's correct place. correct?
I'm asking this becauseI just assembled the rear uprights and when placing the splined bit in( dont know the name but the part where the
driveshaft will eventually go in to), using a hammer, it felt like the whole thing just went out of place....
Hope I am making any sense.
Thanks for the help.

Can you spot the difference from the dist caps as a start point.
Thanks

Hub part on my spare ones appear to go in further, may be when you put the other half in it will pull the hub further onto the bearings

yep, the splined bit that the nut goes on, just make sure you don't put the wrong one on the wrong side, one is l/h the other is r/h, sorry
can't remember which way is which. I think it's l/h thread on left, which would mean it would want to tighten with the rotation of the
wheel same with r/h thread on right it would want to tighten.
