- 94 XLT
I've looked through the posts for postings on wheel bearings for 94's and can't seem find anything that matches the problem that I am having.
My brother-in-law and I replaced the wheel bearings on the drivers side of my 94 XLT 4x4. Found out it was wheel bearing when checking ball joints (was told needed them when bought Thurs). The wheel had tremendous play in it so, I limped back home from his house.
Today we replaced the inner and outer bearings with a used set he had from his 91 Ranger. We checked play when put wheel back on and everything tight. No play from bearings, ball joints or tie rods.
Went for a drive and noticed I now have a deep rubbing/roar that wasn't there before doing the work. The original inner bearing was the one that was gone and we had a hard time getting off the spindle.
Now, I am wondering if it could possibly be because we have the bearings too tight? We cleaned them with brake cleaner and repacked before we assembled everything.
The hubs have been changed from auto to manual and have parts that look like these(found in this post):

Sorry for the link, couldn't figure out how to put a pic in my post.
Any help be appreciated as need truck functional for work.
Thx in advance
