Discs overheating!!!

So it's not been torqued up to the factory setting rather just tightened until it wouldn't go any further? Have you tightened any of the screws and bolts to the correct torque setting and angle or just tightened them?

There is a specific process to tightening most hub nuts, it's not just a process of tightening it up, you should slacken it off, rotate and torque; then finally you would tighten with an angle.

The housing is not on the car yet. What screws and bolts are you referring to? The hub i'm talking about is the one that goes through the bearing with the splines on that the CV joint goes through, that has been tightened with the power bar as far as it will go.

The hub for the wheel will be taken to a garage to be torqued when it's all on the car. We can't drive the car yet as it has all collapsed on the passenger side, just one lump of steel all binded together. It has even broke the track rod end and ball joint and they were brand new! When the new parts are put together and replaced on the car then we can take it to a garage to be torqued as we haven't got a torque wrench.


Thanks for your advice, much appreciated

I would have gone back to the garage and pulled his head of his shoulders if he didn't pay to correct the damage he caused.
