Half Shaft Nut
I have an e36 318i '94. The nut on the half shaft which locates the hub on
my car keeps undoing? I have used new nuts and torqued to 200Nm, used thread lock, and hammered over the castelated part of the nut. What would be causing this? Any ideas? |

Have the bearings on that wheel been replaced at one time? Quite
possible that they have not been properly seated or are failing. BD |
