I'm having a strange problem. I swapped front hubs from an '85 380SE to my '83 300SD for the brand new brake rotors that were attached. I didn't mess with bearing, just slid the hub assy from one car and put it on the other. I tightened the bearings good then backed off to make sure they were tight. I adjusted bearings until the play was out and everything felt good. In a few days, I checked them and they needed tightening a full turn more to get the play out. A week later, both bearings again needed a full turn again to get them tight.
Has anyone ever heard of this? Are the hubs from a '85SE & '83 300SD the same? My research says they are.
I'm guessing the races in the hubs I put on wasn't seated all the way? I'm going to keep tightening them every week and hopefully they will finally tighten.
