I replaced a ball joint (top) and put a new front hub in, 88 XJ, D-30. When I tightened the big nut on the yoke to specs, the bearing felt like it sliped a bit and got really tight. I backed the nut off 25 foot pounds (final torque 175) and it turned OK, but with a little more resistance than I`m comfortable with, but figured it was worth a try (it´s got a 12 month guarantee). I at first thought the rear seal race (on the axle) might be pushing on the seal face, but that wasn´t it.
Any thoughts, anybody have the same thing happen, with a replacement hub. The replacement Hub I used was BCA Federal Mogul 513107, part number checks out.
