I have had two experiences (on different cars) with the rear wheel hub nut becoming loose. Loose enough to remove with my fingers. The result was, in this particular case, a growling in the rear end and instability when the car shifts under stress. (WOT, etc.)
Has anyone had this happen besides me? I have had it happen on both my '86 left rear and my '85 right rear hubs. The '86 I went ahead and changed the hub, the '85 I just retightened the hub to factory specs and the growl and instability went away.
Now granted, I drove the '86 like I had stolen it! But the '85 I have been pretty careful with because it is a "show" quality car.
What would cause the rear hub nut to become loose? Unless it was not tightened correctly in the first place, but that is unlikely to happen on two cars..........
