I recently changed the wheel bearings and races in my '09 GU and while inserting the inner bearing race in the hub I noticed it wouldn't go as far down as I thought it would. After a heap of banging and inspecting I decided the race was in as far as possible. Now I've reassembled the lot, I've noticed a few knocks and clicks (which existed before due to radius arm pushes) and I'm worried there is extra noise in there from my wheel bearing change.
Question is.. how would I know now if I had made a mistake when inserting the new race? Would the torquing technique of near 150 ftlb have seated it? Should I expect a lot of noise if the race wasn't seated correctly?
