Problems after 5 lug conversion

redsilviaman · Sep 9, 2005

I just did my 5 lug conversion on my s14, putting brand new hubs front and
back. My question is, whenever I jack the front of the car I can wiggle the
front wheel back and forth, so I took my front wheel, caliper and rotor off
just on the driver side too see whats goin on. I was thinking that I probably forgot to put something. Is there something like a washer that you put
after the hub before you put that big nut thing or whatever, it seems like
there is a play because I can move my hub back and forth.

thanks

Pretty straightforward. Perhaps you have a bad wheel bearing.

yeah, i'd say bad wheel bearing too. unless you're just not tightening everything down properly.

actually there is a washer between the hub and the big nut.

yea there's a washer. dont torque down the front nuts tho. screw it hand tight.l but not too tight.
