hey guys i have a quick question for you all. What would happend if the wheel bearings didnt have enough grease? i just replaced the wheel bearings/wheel hubs on my s13 and before i had put the rotor on everytime i spun the hub it made a light grinding sound. do you think it has to be packed again? btw the hubs/bearing i just replaced them with were used.

Yep, gotta say used wheel bearings=fail.
Anything like that on a car, that goes through that much stress and is constantly used and has a major say in performance and your cars life should be new... thats kinda like buying a used clutch, or used breaks.
Go buy some new wheel bearings, touque them down to spec, and that should solve your problem.
by the way, who neg repped me for this? I lost a whole 3 points, that thanks to whoever that was, I am never going to get back.

well i bought used hubs/bearing because the kid who previously owned the car before me had aftermarket bigger studs put onto the hubs...so im trying to return everything back to stock. the used hub i just bought is fine i think its just the bearing themselves...
