Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Morning all

What can be the cause for right front wheel hub getting rather hot, vehicle just been for service , something that did not happen previously. Left side no problem, if I remember correctly the workshop manager said they checked wheel bearings all round and it was fine and they regreased them, my wife is taking my Patrol to Ponta next weekend and I don't want no hickups

Wheel bearing to tight or you are sitting with a disc that is binding. Let them re do their job.

DITTO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tHANKS GUYS

I have made contact with workshop I will take vehicle back, will the bearing seize if I only take it on Monday or must I do it ASAP

You can do it in Monday but do not use the car during the weekend. Bearings are expensive.

Jip,jy kan dit Maandag doen,moet net nie rond ry nie.Vra ook die werkswinkel om nie net die bearings los te maak nie,maar om weer als af te haal vir inspeksie.Hulle moet ook kyk dat die inner van die bearing nie gedraai het op die as nie.(belangrik,Dit maak skade,jy kan die baering vervang,maar die stubshaft is duur.)

Net n bietjie terugvoer.

Het sondag my Patrol vir n draai gevat want my vrou moet so bietjie oefenin kry sy vat my Patrol die naweek Ponta toe ( Ladies trip ), dit was ek( gq ) , Gerrit (4.5 gu ), Donald ( 4.8 gu ) en Gawie ( 2.8 colt), totale trip eenrigtin seker so 40km. Daar aangekom was beide Donald en Gerrit se hubs warmer as myne, ( maar my regs was wel warmer as links ) Die klank wat my eerstens laat dink het daar is dalk iets fout was nog steeds daar en volgens my meer pertinent maar net ek kon dit hoor tussen die passasiers in my Patrol. Toe ons terug ry kon my vrou wel die grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg hoor wat ek hoor, ek het n posting oopgemaak onder DRIVETRAIN gaan loer en gee raad.

Nou die cherrie op die koek, die mech reken mens kan nie die Patrol se wiellaer te styf trek nie???

Hi Jules

Any outcome from this?

I checked both my front wheel hubs yesterday (never checked them before strangely) after a bit of driving around and couldnt hold my hand for longer than 2 seconds. I have no idea what is normal heat or not, and I have just come back from a 3200km trip and if the bearings were too tight wouldnt they have already ceased?

Thanks

David

My Safari se voorste hubs word baie warm - en dis maar normaal - het nog nooit die Patrol s'n gecheck nie.

I took off the front wheels (the one right front wheel bolt was stripped properly at tiger wheel and tire yesterday anyway - R60 a bolt and need to undo the whole hub/bearing assembly to replace ) and seems very tight to turn, can do it with one hand, dont know what's normal either, so will take it into Nissan who repacked my bearings when I replaced the drag-link and see what they say. There also appears to be slight play.

Driving to Zim in December so want it sorted, although I didnt run into any problems on my Moz trip so unsure if anything is actually wrong.
