Does anyone who runs a gti 6 on track struggle with wheek bearings? My car seems to ruin the nsf wheel bearing on every trackday i do! Is it possible something else is wrong or is this just what there like? Cheers

Probably not the issue but unbalanced wheels put an unneccessary strain on the bearings at higher speeds. |

Are they being installed correctly?I've seen a few people press bearings in via the middle race instead of the outer when pressing in to the hub. |

As far as i know all the surrounding parts are ok, I specifically asked it to all be checked out the second time. They have been replaced by two separate mechanics due to timing issues for getting it to a trackday so i would expect it to be unlikely for them both to get it wrong |

The best most mechanics are going to do is have a quick look over it before they slap the bearing in. Get some verniers or bore gauges and check the hub and the upright.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Gunna get it checked out more throughly this time, most likely to be the drive flange by the sound of it. |
