I mean the noise a wheel bearing makes when it is going bad - anyone who has had one go bad knows the sound. I stated it is on acc and decell and in turns. I did not say it but it does not depend on road surface.


I used the same method as when I did my 380SE about 4 years ago which is still OK, the american way of tightening snug then loosen and finger tight. No gage.
