<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>hey all,</DIV>
<DIV>i just replaced the front wheel bearings and lower ball joints&nbsp;on&nbsp;my 87 syncro.&nbsp; i just put the arm back on and the hub spins fine by hand.&nbsp; so once i tighten the wheel nut, it is very difficult to spin the wheel by hand,&nbsp; it sort of feels like it is binding, when i loosen the nut it spins fine again.&nbsp; i am not even tightening the nut to the proper torque before the wheel turns tightly.&nbsp; the other side spins fine, no problem, but this side is difficult, what is going on?&nbsp; is this normal?</DIV>
