Just fitted my new hub and now when driving theres a very loud clunking and abit of grinding. Seems to be the bottom mount moving to one side when the shaft is turning. Got mot in morning and its only just started. Also very bad pulling to the left. Noticed the Tracking was out at the RR but it was no where near like this!

Seems to drive ok did 10 miles at 20mph and all the balljoint bangs and stull have gone and everything is tight,

TRE is still tight to the nut so that hasn't moved

Got to get from leeds to doncaster first thing in morning

Sounds like a front spring might have snapped?

is the right size ball joint in the hub? hubs vary between 16 & 18mm ball joints?

No thats why i changed the hub as i fitted a 18mm balljoint into a 16mm hole before to get it driviable. No knocks from suspension now but i was underneath when the engine was started and you can see the bottom mount moving the engine to the right when the shaft turns

Are the hockey sticks done up correctly on the bottom mount?

Engine mounts all ok?

With the tracking, did you do up the TRE to the same position it was before removal?
