Hi Kids,

anyone out ther know the correct torque setting for the wheel bearing/hub assembly on a Mk1?

i replaces the fronts a few months back and i have a wobble return on me. I have been told these are sensitive if not torqued correctly. Naturally i done the "man" thing and just tightened them up in a manly fashionsmash

I would think a manly fashion is about the correct torque but specs say between 130 and 160ft lb.
